“…All these proteins help in amplifying the IRE1 signal during ER stress. Other proteins like Fortilin (Pinkaew et al, 2017), Bax inhibitor-1 (Lisbona et al, 2009), and Bid (Bashir et al, 2023) interact with IRE1 to inhibit its activity, while interaction with Nck, TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) (Luo et al, 2008;Nguyen et al, 2004), and RACK1 (Qiu et al, 2010) form the scaffolding interactions. Besides these physical interactions, IRE1 communicates with other cellular pathways, including the Akt/mTOR signalling pathway (Ozcan et al 2004, Qin et al, 2010, Wouters et al, 2008.…”
