An abundance of misfolded proteins in the ER can result in the activation of the unfolded protein

Question:

An abundance of misfolded proteins in the ER can result in the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathways. UPR decreases the amount of unfolded proteins by altering gene expression of what type of genes? What is one manner in which ERAD may identify misfolded proteins? Why is dislocation of these misfolded proteins to the cytoplasm necessary?
