Abstract

The long-awaited structure of the effector portion of IRE1, the endoplasmic reticulum stress transducer, is published in this issue of Cell (Lee et al., 2008). This structure provides new insight into the mysterious coupling of kinase and endoribonuclease activities in the oldest, most-conserved branch of the unfolded protein response in eukaryotes.
