Double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) is negatively regulated by 60S ribosomal subunit protein L18.

Kumar KU, Srivastava SP, Kaufman RJ

The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) provides a fundamental control step in the regulation of protein synthesis initiation through phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2alpha), a process that prevents polypeptide chain initiation. In such a manner, activated PKR inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis, whereas disruption of normal PKR signaling results in unregulated ... [more]
