OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The regulated phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) potently regulates global and gene-specific mRNA translation and thereby broadly affects proteostasis in diverse physiological and pathological settings. Phosphorylated eIF2 is a convergence point for several stress response pathways and its downstream effector processes are known as the integrated stress response (or ISR). In this talk I will review recent advances in our understanding of the ISR and its role in proteostasis.
