The luminal domain of the type I transmembrane protein Ire1 senses endoplasmic reticulum stress by an undefined mechanism to up-regulate the signalling pathway for the unfolded protein response. Previously, we proposed that the luminal domain of yeast Ire1 is divided into five subregions, termed subregions I–V sequentially from the N-terminus. Ire1 lost activity when internal deletions of subregion II or IV were made. In the present paper, we show that partial proteolysis of a recombinant protein consisting of the Ire1 luminal domain suggests that subregions II–IV are tightly folded. We also show that a recombinant protein of subregions II–IV formed homodimers, and that this homodimer formation was impaired by an internal deletion of subregion IV. Furthermore, recombinant fragments of subregion IV exhibited a self-binding ability. Therefore, although its sequence is little conserved evolutionarily, subregion IV plays an essential role to promote Ire1 dimer formation.

Abstract Human recombinant relaxin-3 (H3 relaxin ),a small molecule peptide hormone, ameliorated myocardial injury after myocardial infarction or isoprenaline injection by inhibiting apoptosis and fibrosis. However, whether H3 relaxin protects vascular function in rats with type 1 diabetes and its mechanism are unknown. In type 1 diabetes rats model induced by streptozotocin (STZ), rats were subcutaneously injected H3 relaxin (2 µg/kg/d or 0.2 µg/kg/d) for 2 weeks. At 4 or 8 weeks after STZ injection, we detected the expression of fibrosis (type I and III collagen), ERS (endoplasmic reticulum stress) and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the aortas and inflammation markers in the plasma from rats with diabetes. Compared with the diabetic rats, H3 relaxin treatment exhibited markedly decreased plasma oxidative stress markers (TNF-a and MDA) levels. The protein expression levels of type I and III collagen in the aortas were increased in rats with diabetes, inhibited by H3 relaxin. H3 relaxin treatment inhibited ERS (GRP78 and CHOP) and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the aortas of diabetic rats. These results suggest that H3 relaxin inhibited fibrosis, ERS and inflammation activation in the aortas of type 1 diabetic rats.
