Site-specific modification and RNA crosslinking of the RNA-binding domain of PKR.
RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is an interferon-induced, RNA-activated enzyme that phosphorylates and inhibits the function of the translation initiation factor eIF-2. PKR is activated in vitro by binding RNA molecules with extensive duplex structure. To further define the nature of the RNA regulation of PKR, we have prepared and characterized site-specifically modified proteins consisting ...
متن کاملInhibition of PKR activation by the proline-rich RNA binding domain of the herpes simplex virus type 1 Us11 protein.
Upon activation by double-stranded RNA in virus-infected cells, the cellular PKR kinase phosphorylates the translation initiation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) and thereby inhibits protein synthesis. The gamma 34.5 and Us11 gene products encoded by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are dedicated to preventing the accumulation of phosphorylated eIF2. While the gamma 34.5 gene sp...
متن کاملTissue factor regulates plasminogen binding and activation.
Tissue factor (TF) has been implicated in several important biologic processes, including fibrin formation, atherogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumor cell migration. In that plasminogen activators have been implicated in the same processes, the potential for interactions between TF and the plasminogen activator system was examined. Plasminogen was found to bind directly to the extracellular domain...
متن کاملPKR negatively regulates leukemia progression in association with PP2A activation, Bcl-2 inhibition and increased apoptosis
Reduced expression and activity of the proapoptotic, double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR (protein kinase R) is observed in breast, lung and various leukemias, suggesting that loss of PKR potentiates transformation. Now we report that decreased PKR activity inhibits chemotherapy-induced apoptosis of leukemia cells both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of PKR expression or activity ...
متن کاملTAR RNA-binding protein is an inhibitor of the interferon-induced protein kinase PKR.
A cDNA encoding a double-stranded-RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein was isolated by screening a HeLa cell cDNA expression library for proteins that bind the HIV-1 Rev-responsive-element RNA. The cDNA encoded a protein that was identical to TRBP, the previously reported cellular protein that binds the transactivation response element (TAR) RNA of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. TRBP inhibited pho...
