Fig. 3: XBP1(s) or ATF61–373 expression upregulates PERK-eIF2α and inhibits global translation.

a, c, e LS174T XBP1(s)Tet On cells. b, d, f LS174T ATF61–373 Tet On cells. a, b Protein levels of PERK and phosphorylated EIF2α. Cells were incubated for 0, 1 or 3 h with thapsigargin 200 nM. c, d Global protein translation rate, measured by 35SMethionine incorporation assay. e, f Percentage of apoptotic cells, measured with propidium iodide and Annexin V staining on Flow Cytometry. All data are shown as means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
