PEBP1 amplifies mitochondrial dysfunction-induced integrated stress response by Ling Cheng, Ian Meliala, Yidi Kong, Jingyuan Chen, Christopher G Proud, Mikael Björklund

“…The integrated stress response (ISR) serves as a critical adaptation mechanism to a variety of stresses, including those originating from mitochondria. By utilizing mass spectrometry-based cellular thermal shift assay (MS-CETSA), we uncovered that phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1 (PEBP1), also known as Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP), is thermally stabilized by stresses which induce mitochondrial ISR. …”
