encodes an ortholog of GRP94, an ER-resident HSP90-like protein and is involved in regulation of meristem size and organization. Single and double mutant analyses suggest that SHD may be required for the correct folding and/or complex formation of CLV proteins. Lines carrying recessive mutations in this locus exhibits expanded shoot meristems, disorganized root meristems, and defective pollen tube elongation. Transcript is detected in all tissues examined and is not induced by heat. Endoplasmin supports the protein secretory pathway and has a role in proliferating tissues.

Encodes the luminal binding protein BiP, an ER-localized member of the HSP70 family. BiP is composed of an N-terminal ATP binding domain and a C-terminal domain that binds to hydrophobic patches on improperly/incompletely folded proteins in an ATP-dependent manner.
Encodes a protein disulfide isomerase-like (PDIL) protein, a member of a multigene family within the thioredoxin (TRX) superfamily. Transcript levels for this gene are up-regulated in response to three different chemical inducers of ER stress (dithiothreitol, beta-mercaptoethanol, and tunicamycin). AtIRE1-2 does not appear to be required for this response, but the atbzip60 mutant has a diminished response.
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of unfolded or misfolded proteins transported from the endoplasmic reticulum and targeted to cytoplasmic proteasomes for degradation.
A change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress usually results from the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER lumen.
