Protein kinase R (PKR) is one of the key RNA-activated sensors for innate immunity. PKR is activated by pathogenic or aberrant RNAs such as short double-stranded RNAs or those with imperfect secondary structures, as well as a reduction in the amount and number of RNA modifications. Activation of PKR may be an underlying mechanism for the pathogenesis of human diseases. In this protocol, I describe a method for studying levels of RNA-induced PKR activation in vitro.

[Abstract] Protein kinase R (PKR) is one of the key RNA-activated sensors for innate immunity. PKR is activated by pathogenic or aberrant RNAs such as short double-stranded RNAs or those with imperfect secondary structures, as well as a reduction in the amount and number of RNA modifications. Activation of PKR may be an underlying mechanism for the pathogenesis of human diseases. In this protocol, I describe a method for studying levels of RNA-induced PKR activation in vitro.

Keywords: PKR, Stress response, Innate immunity, Aberrant RNA

[Background] PKR is one of four mammalian kinases that phosphorylate eukaryotic initiation factor 2-α subunit (eIF2α) in response to stress signals. PKR is activated mainly in response to viral infection (Holcik and Sonenberg, 2005). PKR is a key component of innate immunity that recognizes and binds to pathogenic RNAs. The interaction of RNAs with PKR promotes and stabilizes its dimerization. PKR then undergoes auto-phosphorylation and subsequently phosphorylates eIF2α to shut off general translation, while activating the downstream signaling cascade including the increased translation of the ATF4 stress response transcription factor (Hinnebusch, 2005).
   PKR is known to be activated by short double-stranded RNAs (Manche et al., 1992; Zheng and Bevilacqua, 2004) as well as RNAs with some imperfect secondary structures such as hairpin loops (Bevilacqua et al., 1998). In addition, defects in RNA biogenesis, including lower levels of m6A modification, lead to a stress response via the activation of PKR (Nallagatla and Bevilacqua, 2008). Reduced levels of m6A modification followed by the activation of the PKR-mediated stress response may serve as an underlying molecular etiology of human diseases such as Cornelia de Lange syndrome (Yuen et al., 2016). The method described in this protocol allows us to study the stress response triggered by foreign or aberrant RNAs by examining their effect on the activation of PKR in vitro.

      Figure 1. Silver staining of purified PKR protein. The purified PKR protein (65 kDa) was visualized by silver staining. IPTG was added to induce the protein expression in E. coli. Lysate from cells without IPTG induction was used as a negative control.

  3. PKR dephosphorylation and activation
    Human PKR protein is activated by the RNAs from E. coli upon cell lysis; therefore, protein dephosphorylation is necessary to obtain the non-phosphorylated form of PKR before activation assays.
    1. Dephosphorylation of PKR

      3. Incubate dephosphorylated PKR with 10 ng Poly I:C or dsRNA in PKR activation buffer at 30 °C for 0.5-2 h.
      4. Add 1x LDS loading buffer with 5% β-mercaptoethanol to stop the reaction.
      5. Perform Western blotting to determine the PKR activation by probing for level p-PKR against total PKR.
      6. Electrophorese the samples through a NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris protein gel.
      7. Transfer the resolved proteins onto an immobilon-P polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane at 100 V for 90 min at 4 °C.

        Figure 2. Representative results of PKR activation in vitro. PKR activation assay was used to study different types of RNAs (mRNAs, small RNAs and rRNAs) isolated from WT and NIPBL-MS (missense) human lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). Both ncRNAs and rRNAs isolated from NIPBL-MS LCLs are capable of activating recombinant PKR in vitro; 10 ng Poly I:C was used as a positive control for PKR activation. *P < 0.001 compared to untreated control. (Please refer to Yuen et al., 2016 for details)
