Adaptation to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress depends on the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) stress sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha (IRE1). IRE1 is a central ER stress sensors, that signals through the activation of its RNase domain to catalyze the splicing the mRNA encoding the transcription factor X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), resulting on the expression of a stable and active transcription factor termed XBP1s. The kinetics and amplitude of IRE1 signaling are regulated by different posttranslational modifications and the physical interaction of different factors. Early studies demonstrated that the expression of the proapoptotic proteins BAX and BAX enhance UPR signaling. However, the possible effects on the RNase activity were not defined. Here we provide preliminary evidence indicating that BAX and BAK deficiency increases the in 10 folds the threshold of ER stress to induce XBP1 mRNA splicing, and the upregulation of its target genes. In addition, the degradation of RIDD substrates was strongly reduced in BAX and BAK null cells. BAX and BAK double deficiency also attenuated the levels of IRE1 phosphorylation under mild ER stress. These results reinforce previous findings indicating that proapoptotic BAX and BAK have alternative functions at the ER regulating the UPR.
