Abstract excerpt
PKR is an interferon (IFN)-induced serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates protein synthesis through phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (eIF-2). In addition to its demonstrated role in translational control, recent findings suggest that PKR plays an important role in regulation of gene transcription, as PKR phosphorylates I kappa B alpha upon double-stranded RNA treatment...
