Description
The IRE1 Rnase domain has been implicated in the pathology of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), a disease with limited treatment options. The IRE1 Rnase mediates it's effects on the transcriptome via activation of the trancription factor XBP1s and via direct cleavage of mRNA through a process called RIDD. The processes through which the RNase domain contributes to TNBC is not fully understood.
