RNA Dimerization Promotes PKR Dimerization and Activation

The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase [protein kinase R (PKR)] plays a major role in the innate immune response in humans. PKR binds dsRNA non-sequence specifically and requires a minimum of 15-bp dsRNA for one protein to bind and 30-bp dsRNA to induce protein dimerization and act...
