The interferon (IFN)-inducible double-stranded-RNA
(dsRNA)-activated serine-threonine protein kinase (PKR) is a major
mediator of the antiviral and antiproliferative activities of IFNs. PKR has been implicated in different stress-induced signaling pathways including dsRNA signaling to nuclear factor kappa B (NF-
B). The mechanism by which PKR mediates activation of NF-
B is unknown. Here
we show that in response to poly(rI) · poly(rC) (pIC), PKR activates I
B kinase (IKK), leading to the degradation of the inhibitors I
B
and I
B
and the concomitant release of
NF-
B. The results of kinetic studies revealed that pIC induced a
slow and prolonged activation of IKK, which was preceded by PKR
activation. In PKR null cell lines, pIC failed to stimulate IKK
activity compared to cells from an isogenic background wild type for
PKR in accord with the inability of PKR null cells to induce NF-
B in
response to pIC. Moreover, PKR was required to establish a sustained
response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-
) and to potentiate
activation of NF-
B by cotreatment with TNF-
and IFN-
. By
coimmunoprecipitation, PKR was shown to be physically associated with
the IKK complex. Transient expression of a dominant negative mutant of
IKK
or the NF-
B-inducing kinase (NIK) inhibited pIC-induced gene
expression from an NF-
B-dependent reporter construct. Taken
together, these results demonstrate that PKR-dependent dsRNA induction
of NF-
B is mediated by NIK and IKK activation.
