IRE1-alpha is a single-pass transmembrane protein with a luminal N-terminus and a cytoplasmic C-terminus. IRE1-alpha is maintained in an inactive state in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane by interaction between the luminal domain of IRE1-alpha and the ATPase domain of BiP within the ER.
BiP is a general chaperone that also binds unfolded proteins within the ER. Thus BiP dissociates from IRE1-alpha when chaperone activity is overwhelmed by unfolded proteins in the ER.
