    This review summarizes the canonical roles of each branch of the integrated stress response (ISR_ and follow up with consideration and evidence of their implications in neurodegenerative pathologies. The maladaptive outcomes of ISR kinase activation and eIF2alpha phosphorylation, which might play mechanistic roles in neurodegeneration were also examined. [Review]

    PERK activation augments respiratory SCs. The PERK-eIF2alpha-ATF4 axis increases supercomplex assembly factor 1 (SCAF1 or COX7A2L), promoting SCs and enhanced mitochondrial respiration. PERK activation is sufficient to rescue bioenergetic defects caused by complex I missense mutations derived from mitochondrial disease patients.

    ER and Nutrient Stress Promote Assembly of Respiratory Chain Supercomplexes through the PERK-eIF2α Axis.

    Our studies suggested that chelerythrine (CHE) possibly induces apoptosis through the nuclear translocation of MLKL and *MLKL, which is promoted by a mutual regulation between MLKL and PERK-eIF2alpha pathway in response to ROS formation. The present study clarified the new function of MLKL in apoptosis.

    MLKL mediates apoptosis via a mutual regulation with PERK/eIF2α pathway in response to reactive oxygen species generation.

    Study shows an anti-tumor function of the protein kinase PKR and its substrate eIF2alpha in a HER2+ breast cancer patient-derived xenograft mouse model. The anti-tumor function depends on the transcription factor ATF4, which upregulates the CDK inhibitor P21/CIP1 and activates JNK1/2. Also, the findings show that increased eIF2alpha-P is a surrogate biomarker of trastuzumab treatment.

    An integrated stress response via PKR suppresses HER2+ cancers and improves trastuzumab therapy.
