DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.07.080
Abstract: The activation of transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) occurs early in acute pancreatitis (AP) simultaneously with intracellular trypsinogen activation. Double-stranded RNA-dependent kinase (PKR) promotes the activation of NF-κB and the production of pro-inflammatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2019.01.024
Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was shown to activate protein kinase R (PKR), which inhibits expression of interferon (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes by controlling the translation of newly transcribed mRNAs. However, it is unknown exactly how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2017.03.028
Abstract: ABSTRACT The double‐stranded RNA‐dependent kinase (PKR), which is activated by double stranded RNA, induces inflammation by regulating NF‐&kgr;B signaling. The NLR family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome also modulates inflammation in response to infection. Porphyromonas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biochem.9b00161
Abstract: The RNA-activated protein kinase, PKR, is a key mediator of the innate immunity response to viral infection. Viral double-stranded RNAs induce PKR dimerization and autophosphorylation. The PKR kinase domain forms a back-to-back dimer. However, intermolecular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2201169119
Abstract: Significance Evolutionarily conserved protein kinase R (PKR) is a powerful mediator of antiviral responses. Enigmatically, PKR activity is disabled by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) during infection, while the virus still allows the… read more here.
