Baseline Elevation from ER Stress Is Epiphenomenon, Not Lysosomal Signal Amplification (H6)
🧪 Overview
G2019S causes elevated baseline RAB10 phosphorylation via chronic ER stress pathway (PERK/eIF2α) unrelated to lysosomal volume-sensing. True signal amplification is pathogenic; baseline elevation is compensatory. PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 can test whether baseline elevation depends on ER stress in both genotypes.
