| Research Abstract |
Dysfunction of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), namely ER stress, activates an ER-located transmembrane protein Ire1. In the present study, we have noticed interaction between Ire1 and an ER-located zinc-ion transporter Zrg17 in yeast cells. Zrg17 was highly phosphorylated in IRE1 cells but not in ire1Δcells cultured in ER-stress conditions. We propose that Ire1 activated through zinc deficiency directly phosphorylates and stabilizes Zrg17 for efficient incorporation of zinc ion into the ER.
