Abstract excerpt
The dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a key mediator of the anti-viral and anti-proliferative effects of interferon. Unphosphorylated PKR is characterized by inhibitory interactions between the kinase and RNA binding domains (RBDs), but the structural details of the latent state and its unraveling during activation are not well understood. To study PKR regulation by NMR we assigned a large portion of the...
