Target

  • Function

    Following activation by double-stranded RNA in the presence of ATP, the kinase becomes autophosphorylated and can catalyze the phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which leads to an inhibition of the initiation of protein synthesis. Double-stranded RNA is generated during the course of a viral infection.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GCN2 subfamily.
    Contains 2 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domains.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Autophosphorylated on several Ser and Thr residues. Autophosphorylation of Thr-451 is dependent on Thr-446 and is stimulated by dsRNA binding and dimerization. Autophosphorylation apparently leads to the activation of the kinase.

      ab32506 was shown to specifically react with PKR when PKR knockout samples were used. Wild-type and PKR knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab32506 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1/10 000 and 1/2000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10 000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

      ab32506 staining PKR in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and PKR knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab32506 at 1/400 dilution and ab7291 at 1ug/ml concentration overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to Mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150117) at 2ug/ml (shown in pseudo-color red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

      This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HAP1 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).
