The unfolded protein response (UPR) promotes cell survival in cancers with hyperactive ER stress response. Here the authors show that CARM1, an arginine methyltransferase, controls the IRE1α/XBP1 pathway of the UPR and the inhibition of this pathway can inhibit growth in CARM1 expressing ovarian cancers.
