On the other hand, amino - acid starvation leads to the
formation of reversible non-membrane bound pro-survival stress assemblies, the
Sec bodies, that incorporate the components of the ER exit sites, the
Sec16 and the COPII components (7).
In this context, we have studied the role of ERK7 in Drosophila S2 cells in response to serum starvation, and have shown that amino - acid starvation leads to the
formation of a of novel membrane-less stress assembly, the
Sec bodies, as well as stress granules.
Interestingly, we have noticed that the
formation of both structures,
Sec bodies and stress granules, is linked and we are investigating this.
