Positive Regulation of Splicing of Cellular and Viral mRNA by Intragenic RNA Elements That Activate the Stress Kinase PKR, an Antiviral Mechanism

The transient activation of the cellular stress kinase, protein kinase RNA-activated (PKR), by double-helical RNA, especially by viral double-stranded RNA generated during replication, results in the inhibition of translation via the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α-chain (eIF2α)....
