Facts about Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP.
In the unstressed endoplasmic reticulum, recruited by DNAJB9/ERdj4 to the luminal area of ERN1/IRE1, leading to disrupt the dimerization of ERN1/IRE1, thereby inactivating ERN1/IRE1 (By similarity). Accumulation of misfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum causes release of HSPA5/BiP from ERN1/IRE1, allowing homodimerization and subsequent activation of ERN1/IRE1 (By similarity).
