CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A DSRNA-BINDING DOMAIN COMPLEXED WITH DSRNA: MOLECULAR BASIS OF DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA-PROTEIN INTERACTIONSCRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A DSRNA-BINDING DOMAIN COMPLEXED WITH DSRNA: MOLECULAR BASIS OF DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS
Structural highlights
1di2 is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Xenopus laevis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
PRKAB_XENLA Activates eif2ak2/pkr in the absence of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), leading to phosphorylation of eif2s1/efi2-alpha and inhibition of translation and induction of apoptosis. Required for siRNA production by dicer1 and for subsequent siRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Does not seem to be required for processing of pre-miRNA to miRNA by dicer1 (By similarity).
