Schematic presentation of wt PKR, GyrB-PKR, and their activation. (A) Wt PKR consists of two dsRNA-binding motifs (dsRBM) and a kinase domain. dsRNA binding induces dimerization of two PKR molecules and subsequent activation. (B) In GyrB-PKR the regulatory domain of gyrase B replaces the dsRNA binding domains. GyrB-PKR activation is induced by the drug coumermycin, which binds to two molecules of GyrB.
