1.) Introduction Endoplasmic Reticulum Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response 2.) Hypothesis 3.) Methods 4.) Results 5.) Conclusions 6.) Future Research PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) • Membranous network within the cell that processes and folds 1/3 of all proteins. • The ER makes up approximately 12% of the cell’s volume. • The ER plays an important role in maintaining calcium homeostasis. • Anything that affects the ability of the ER to mature proteins can potentially damage the cell.
ER Stress Results in the accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins which can threaten the cell. • Causes • Disrupting calcium homeostasis • Virus • Oxidative Stress • Altered Glycosylation ER

eIF2α eIF2α PERK-eIF2α Pathway Stress Conditions ER Normal Conditions PERK Phos eIF2α is phosphorylated preventing the formation of the translation complex. Decreases the amount of total mRNA translation of proteins and reduces workload on stressed ER. It can now selectively translate specific mRNA. eIF2-GTP-tRNA Initiates Translation Cytoplasm

ER stress is worth stressing over… ER stress has been linked to the following medical conditions: A G E Parkinson’s Huntington’s Alzheimer's Heart Disease
ER Stress Aging Do cells lose their ability to respond to ER stress with age?
Aging ER Stress HHMI 2005
Hypothesis 1.) Cells are more susceptible to ER stress with age. 2.) Signaling between Nrf2 and PERK alters with age.
