Abstract
In extracts of FL cells that were infected with Sindbis virus or treated with heat-shock stress, dsRNA-dependent phosphorylation of 77K protein was markedly increased. The 77K phosphoprotein was indistinguishable from the autophosphorylated and activated form of interferon (IFN)-induced dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PK-I) by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and was immunologically related to P68 (Galabru, J. and Hovanessian, A., J. Biol. Chem. 262, 15538 (1987)), the HeLa cell counterpart of PK-I. Immunoblotting experiments using monoclonal antibody against PK-I revealed that control cell extracts contained a substantial amount of PK-I protein, although they showed no measurable PK-I activity even when dsRNA was added. The amount of PK-I protein did not increase during a transient dsRNA-dependent enhancement of PK-I activity caused by Sindbis virus infection and heat-shock stress. This implies that the conversion of PK-I protein from a dsRNA-unresponsive form to a responsive form may be important in the regulation of PK-I activity. A similar mode of PK-I regulatory mechanism was operative in the early stages of IFN treatment, although after a prolonged treatment a net synthesis of the PK-I protein did take place.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
