Viruses that fail to block the lethal effects of the double-stranded-RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) may be doomed; why do so many viruses go to so much trouble to downregulate this interferon-induced protein kinase? PKR may regulate cell growth and proliferation in uninfected cells, suggesting that it also participates in the antiproliferative arm of the interferon response.
无法阻断双链RNA激活蛋白激酶(PKR)致死效应的病毒可能注定灭亡;为何如此多病毒要不遗余力地下调这种干扰素诱导的蛋白激酶呢?PKR可能在未感染细胞中调节细胞生长和增殖,这表明它也参与了干扰素反应的抗增殖环节。
