Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs upon the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins, and induces adaptive mechanisms, termed the unfolded protein response (UPR), aimed at resolving ER stress and hence preventing potentially dysfunctional proteins from impairing proper cell function [1]. The UPR in general is an evolutionary highly conserved mechanism, with one branch in particular (the IRE1-XBP1 axis) conserved from yeast to metazoans including man. While highly secretory cells are particularly dependent upon an efficient UPR, it is also obvious that a multitude of secondary factors that affect protein folding may lead to the accumulation of misfolded proteins and hence ER stress; these factors include the metabolic state of the cell, oxygen supply, redox state, and many others [1]. An intriguing study by Richardson et al. now reports that innate immune activation is a potent trigger of ER stress in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), with the XBP1-dependent branch of the UPR being required to recover from and survive the stress associated with the elicitation of an innate immune response [2]. Specifically, infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) induced ER stress secondary to activation of PMK-1 [2], the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) orthologue which had previously been shown to be essential for resistance against microbial pathogens [3]. In contrast to wild-type larvae, loss-offunction xbp-1 mutants exhibited larval lethality upon P. aeruginosa infection, which was associated with disruption of ER morphology. Quite surprisingly, larval lethality did not occur in the absence of p38 PMK-1. However, overactivation of PMK-1 in the absence of pathogenic bacteria via silencing of vhp-1, a MAPK phosphatase, in the context of loss-offunction xbp-1 mutants recapitulated the lethal phenotype described above [2]. xbp-1 did not affect the rate of accumulation of P. aeruginosa, excluding the possibility that developmental lethality upon xbp-1 loss-of-function is attributable to accelerated infection [2]. Moreover, loss-of-function in the two other branches of the UPR (atf-6 and pek-1) had no effect on larval development in the presence of P. aeruginosa [2], identifying the IRE1-XBP1 axis as the critical protective UPR branch induced secondary to an innate immune response.
