PKR (double-stranded RNA activated protein kinase) is overexpressed and overactive in human breast carcinoma (BC) cells. Here, we report that BC cells also have higher PKR mRNA levels and exhibit increased transcription from the PKR promoter. Mutational analysis of the PKR promoter indicated that the interferon stimulation response element (ISRE) is responsible for the increased transcription in BC...
RNA polymerase III (pol III) transcription generally terminates at a run of four or more thymidine (T) residues but some pol III genes contain runs of T residues that are not recognized as termination signals. Here, we investigate the terminal signal requirements that are operative in adenovirus virus-associated (VA) RNA genes. In the Xenopus 5 S RNA gene, efficient termination requires the T residues...
PKR is an RNA-dependent protein kinase that is induced in mammalian cells by interferon treatment. It is present in a latent or inactive form in mammalian cells and is activated by very low concentrations of double-stranded (ds) RNA. Activated PKR phosphorylates eIF2, an essential initiation factor of protein synthesis, as well as other substrates including histone IIA, a 90-kDa protein from rabbit...
