“…PKR is induced in an inactive form by interferon and activated by binding to viral dsRNA, which causes dimerization and autophosphorylation (27)(28)(29). However, in the present study, exogenously expressed wild-type PKR could prevent protein translation (Fig.…”

“…Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) phosphorylates the ␣-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2␣) to inhibit cap-dependent translation (22)(23)(24)(25) and plays a role in the innate immune response to viral infection and several cellular signal transduction pathways (26). PKR is induced by interferon and activated by binding to dsRNA, which causes the homodimerization and autophosphorylation of the kinase (27)(28)(29). PKR is an anti-viral molecule that recognizes viral RNA and inhibits viral protein translation.…”

“…In these cells viral growth was inhibited at variety of steps including adsorption [14,15,32], penetration [2,18,22,23,27,30,31,38], and intracellular transport or modification of viral proteins [1,9,31,33,[35][36][37]. Other mutant cell lines were producing interferons constitutively [t 1,12,24]. In most cases, however, mutant cell lines were only poorly characterized and host factors altered in those cells remain largely unknown.…”

“…S-Adenosyl[methyl-3H]methionine (specific activity [10][11][12][13][14][15] Ci/ mmol; 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 becquerels) was purchased from New England Nuclear. Nucleosides and mono-and triphosphates were from Sigma.…”

“…The inhibition apparently involves the activation of an RNase that degrades mRNA (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). The enzymatic activity, 2,5-oligo(adenylate) synthetase, which synthesizes pppApApA from ATP in the presence of double-stranded RNA has also been found in extracts of interferon-treated chicken embryo, 3T6, and HeLa cells (11,14,15). It is also present in rabbit reticulocyte lysates (16) and, in low amounts, in a variety ofother cells and tissues that had not been pretreated with interferon (17).…”
