Function

DELE1_HUMAN Key activator of the integrated stress response (ISR) following mitochondrial stress (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707). In response to mitochondrial stress, cleaved by the protease OMA1, generating the DAP3-binding cell death enhancer 1 short form (DELE1(S) or S-DELE1), which translocates to the cytosol and activates EIF2AK1/HRI to trigger the ISR (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707). Essential for the induction of death receptor-mediated apoptosis through the regulation of caspase activation (PubMed:20563667).[1] [2] [3] Protein kinase activator generated by protein cleavage in response to mitochondrial stress, which accumulates in the cytosol and specifically binds to and activates the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK1/HRI (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707). It thereby activates the integrated stress response (ISR): EIF2AK1/HRI activation promotes eIF-2-alpha (EIF2S1) phosphorylation, leading to a decrease in global protein synthesis and the induction of selected genes, including the transcription factor ATF4, the master transcriptional regulator of the ISR (PubMed:32132706, PubMed:32132707).[4] [5] A0A376KDN7_ECOLX Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Binds maltose and higher maltodextrins.[RuleBase:RU365005]
