Relaying the Ethylene Signal: New Roles for EIN2

Trends Plant Sci. 2016 Jan;21(1):2-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2015.11.013. Epub 2015 Dec 9.

Abstract

ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 2 (EIN2), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localized protein, plays a central role in relaying the ethylene signal from ER perception to the nucleus. Two recent reports reveal the novel role for EIN2 in translational control, providing another layer of regulation for ethylene signal transduction.

Keywords: EBF1; EBF2; EIN2; Ethylene; Translation; mRNA 3′UTR.
