Talk:Unfolded protein response

i strongle feel that people without hair will have more responses, and there may be delay in marriage or no marriage. __________________________________________________________ Reference 9 is a dead link Minnsurfur2 (talk) 17:16, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

this page may not be encyclopedic, but the main contributor obviously has an encyclopedic knowledge of what's good to know about unfolded/not-yet-folded proteins and the UPR. (This is in response to a notice that is pasted before the article, saying that the article is more like an essay or personal recollection, because it relates knowledge without attribution. The older the knowledge gets, and the more generally disseminated it gets, and the less contentious it gets, then the less it becomes a good thing to pepper it with attributions (references).  A real expert in the field, like the person(s) who wrote the Unfolded protein article here, even flag their current controversies for you -- not by citing or reciting differing researchers, but just by inserting a sentence that says "Such and such isn't known" or ".. hasnt been established."

A really good part of this article is where the article ties together the redox state of the part of the cell where proteins are being folded, with the disulfide bonds that are being formed in that microenvironment. That brings up this matter of attribution, and why one WOULD want an article to be pep pered with references: I'd like to read up on that in more detail,so I'd like to have at least one journal article as a reference. But, no way would I give up the opportunity to have read about the reducing atmosphere in the first place in the relaxed environment of a Wikipedia article/page.

Shows how much I know: What the contributor actually said was "... Favoured by the highly oxidising environment of the ER, CRT and CNX facilitate formation of disulfide bonds, which confer structural stability to the protein in order for it to withstand adverse conditions such as extremes of pH and degradative enzymes." You need an oxidizing environment? This stuff is complex and often counterintuitive. It's unlikely that he's wrong about it. Richard8081 (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think I've got it now, for the first time ever: Disulfide bonds are in an oxidized state, whereas the general idea of being alive is maintain a reduced state; to keep those electrons flowing. The cell, generally, is in a reduced state, but the main contributor is pointing out that to have proper protein folding, the cell has to be locally, microenvironmentally in an oxidized redox state.

Can someone commnent on how does HLA B27 contibute to protein unfolding, when it is itself a protein that need to be folded? I think this is a missinterpretation of the original paper,as well as the rest of the sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:638:709:5:39AB:B3BB:4318:1F5D (talk) 16:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Please, change the citation for "CHOP causes downregulation of the anti-apoptotic mitochondrial protein Bcl-2". Instead, mention the article "Gadd153 Sensitizes Cells to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress by Down-Regulating Bcl2 and Perturbing the Cellular Redox State" from McCullough KD1, Martindale JL, Klotz LO, Aw TY, Holbrook NJ(2001) Mol Cell Biol. 2001 Feb;21(4):1249-59, which is the correct one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.88.67.123 (talk) 16:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
