Auto-phosphorylation Represses Protein Kinase R Activity [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe central role of protein kinases in controlling disease processes has spurred efforts to develop pharmaceutical regulators of their activity. A rational strategy to achieve this end is to determine intrinsic auto-regulatory processes, then selectively target these different states of kinases to repress their activation.

Dual Activators of Protein Kinase R (PKR) and Protein Kinase R‐Like Kinase (PERK) Identify Common and Divergent Catalytic Targets [PDF]

open access: yesChemBioChem, 2013
AbstractChemical genetics has evolved into a powerful tool for studying gene function in normal and pathobiology. PKR and PERK, two eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) kinases, play critical roles in the maintenance of cellular hemostasis, metabolic stability, and anti‐viral defenses.

The protein activator of protein kinase R, PACT/RAX, negatively regulates protein kinase R during mouse anterior pituitary development [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2015
The murine double‐stranded RNA‐binding protein termed protein kinase R (PKR)‐associated protein X (RAX) and the human homolog, protein activator of PKR (PACT), were originally characterized as activators of PKR. Mice deficient in RAX show reproductive and developmental defects, including reduced body size, craniofacial defects and anterior pituitary ...

Heat Shock Protein 70 Protects the Heart from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through Inhibition of p38 MAPK Signaling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundHeat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been shown to exert cardioprotection. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) overload induced by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) activation contributes to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ...

Chemical genetics reveals a kinase-independent role for protein kinase R in pyroptosis [PDF]

open access: yesNature Chemical Biology, 2013
Formation of the inflammasome, a scaffolding complex that activates caspase-1, is important in numerous diseases. Pyroptotic cell death induced by anthrax lethal toxin (LT) is a model for inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation. We discovered 7-desacetoxy-6,7-dehydrogedunin (7DG) in a phenotypic screen as a small molecule that protects macrophages ...

Effect of Rho-Kinase and Autophagy on Remote Ischemic Conditioning-Induced Cardioprotection in Rat Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Model

open access: yesCardiovascular Therapeutics, 2022
Objective. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a cardioprotective method in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study investigated the mechanism of Rho-kinase-mediated autophagy in RIC. Methods.
