Summary HRI–eIF2αP–ATF4 stress signaling is important not only to inhibit excess globin
synthesis during erythropoiesis, but is also critical for adaptation to oxidative stress and for
enhancing effective erythropoiesis. Modulation of this signaling pathway with small
chemicals may provide a novel therapy for hemoglobinopathy.
