negative regulation of IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. [GO_REF:0000058, GOC:bf, GOC:PARL, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:22013210]

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular stress response that is activated in response to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1 is a key component of the UPR pathway, and its activation leads to the splicing of XBP1 mRNA, which encodes a transcription factor that induces the expression of genes involved in ER protein folding and degradation. However, prolonged or excessive activation of the UPR can be detrimental to cells, leading to apoptosis. Therefore, negative regulation of the IRE1-mediated UPR is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Several mechanisms have been identified that negatively regulate IRE1 activity:

1. **ER chaperones:** Chaperones like BiP/GRP78 bind to IRE1 and inhibit its activation. When misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, BiP/GRP78 dissociates from IRE1, allowing it to activate.
2. **ER stress sensor:** The ER stress sensor protein, PERK, can negatively regulate IRE1 activity by phosphorylating it. This phosphorylation event can either inhibit IRE1 activity directly or indirectly by promoting its degradation.
3. **Feedback inhibition:** The spliced form of XBP1, a downstream effector of IRE1, can inhibit IRE1 activity by binding to its RNA-binding domain and blocking its interaction with its target mRNA.
4. **MicroRNAs:** Specific microRNAs have been shown to downregulate IRE1 expression and activity, thereby contributing to negative regulation of the UPR.
5. **Deubiquitinases:** Deubiquitinases can remove ubiquitin modifications from IRE1, potentially affecting its activity and stability.
6. **Protein degradation:** IRE1 can be targeted for degradation through proteasomal or lysosomal pathways, contributing to the downregulation of its activity.

These mechanisms work in concert to ensure that the UPR is appropriately activated and deactivated, preventing excessive stress and cellular dysfunction.'

An antiseptic that is effective against Gram-positive organisms, it is used in soaps and creams for the treatment of various skin disorders. It is also used in agriculture as an acaricide and fungicide, but is not approved for such use within the European Union.

Hexachlorophene: A chlorinated bisphenol antiseptic with a bacteriostatic action against Gram-positive organisms, but much less effective against Gram-negative organisms. It is mainly used in soaps and creams and is an ingredient of various preparations used for skin disorders. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p797)
