EIF2AK1 (HRI) is one of 4 kinases that specifically phosphorylate Ser51 of translation initiation factor eIF2-alpha in response to various environmental stresses, leading to a decrease in protein sythesis. In the case of EIF2AK1, signaling is initiated by low levels of heme. The HRI gene is localized to 7p22 where its 3' end slightly overlaps the 3' end of the gene JTV1. The two genes are transcribed from opposite strands and kinase activity is induced by low levels of heme and inhibited by the presence of heme.
