Popis: IRE1α is an ER stress sensor, whose activity induces apoptosis. Here, the authors report that fortilin, a pro-survival factor, with yet unknown roles in ER stress, interacts with active IRE1α, inhibits both its kinase end RNase activities, and protects cells from apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.
