STRUCTURE OF THE DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA-BINDING DOMAIN OF THE PROTEIN KINASE PKR REVEALS THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF ITS DSRNA-MEDIATED ACTIVATION
Contents |
Overview
Protein kinase PKR is an interferon-induced enzyme that plays a key role, in the control of viral infections and cellular homeostasis. Compared with, other known kinases, PKR is activated by a distinct mechanism that, involves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding in its N-terminal region in, an RNA sequence-independent fashion. We report here the solution structure, of the 20 kDa dsRNA-binding domain (dsRBD) of human PKR, which provides, the first three-dimensional insight into the mechanism of its, dsRNA-mediated activation. The structure of dsRBD exhibits a dumb-bell, shape comprising two tandem linked dsRNA-binding motifs (dsRBMs) both with, an alpha-beta-beta-beta-alpha fold. The structure, combined with previous, mutational and biochemical data, reveals a highly conserved RNA-binding, site on each dsRBM and suggests a novel mode of protein-RNA recognition., The central linker is highly flexible, which may enable the two dsRBMs to, wrap around the RNA duplex for cooperative and high-affinity binding, leading to the overall change of PKR conformation and its activation.
