The Caspase-Generated Fragments of PKR Cooperate to Activate Full-Length PKR and Inhibit Translation [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death and Differentiation, 2007
We have studied the involvement of receptor interacting protein kinase-1 (RIP1) and dsRNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) in external dsRNA-induced apoptotic and necrotic cell death in Jurkat T cell lymphoma. Our results suggest that RIP1 plays an imported role in dsRNA-induced apoptosis and necrosis.

PKR, Apoptosis and Cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1999
The double-stranded (ds) RNA-regulated serine/threonine protein kinase, PKR, is an interferon-inducible enzyme of widespread occurrence in mammalian cells. PKR is activated by dsRNA via a mechanism involving autophosphorylation. Once activated, the enzyme phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of protein synthesis initiation factor eIF2, thereby inhibiting ...

Proteins that interact with PKR

Biochimie, 1994
The in vitro activities of recombinant gene products of the vaccinia virus E3L and K3L genes have been compared. These proteins are both potent inhibitors of the dsRNA activated protein kinase (PKR) as assayed in cell-free translation systems or with purified PKR. The two gene products function at similar molar concentrations.

A role for PKR in hematologic malignancies

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2010
AbstractThe double‐stranded RNA‐dependent kinase PKR has been described for many years as strictly a pro‐apoptotic kinase. Recent data suggest that the main purpose of this kinase is damage control and repair following stress and, if all else fails, apoptosis.

Dispensable PKR

Science Signaling, 2000
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is detected by cells and triggers several different cellular responses. These pathways are important for controlling viral infections in the host and include stimulation of apoptosis to prevent spread of the virus, inhibition of protein synthesis to prevent viral replication, and induction of antiviral ...

Signal Integration via PKR

Science's STKE, 2001
The vital role of interferons (IFNs) as mediators of innate immunity is well established. It has recently become apparent that one of the pivotal proteins in mediating the antiviral activity of IFNs, the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR), also functions as a signal transducer in the proinflammatory response to ...

Identification of Functional Domains of the Interferon-Induced Enzyme PKR in Cells Lacking Endogenous PKR

Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 1999
The interferon (IFN)-induced, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated human protein kinase (PKR) has been shown to exert antiviral and antiproliferative effects. Activation of the enzyme in mammalian cells results in protein synthesis inhibition and cell death by apoptosis. Previous studies on the structure-function relationship of PKR have been based on
