Abstract excerpt
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 vectors expressing the enzyme in mammalian cells containing...
