Dominant Negative Function by an Alternatively Spliced Form of the Interferon-inducible Protein Kinase PKR
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase PKR (protein kinase dsRNA-dependent) plays an important role in the regulation of protein synthesis by phosphorylating the alpha-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2. Through this activity, PKR is thought to mediate the antiviral and antiproliferative actions of interferon. Here, we show that the human T cell leukemia Jurkat cells express an...
