Regulation of eIF2alpha phosphorylation is critical to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and eIF2alpha kinases are subject to complex and multidimensional controls. A cellular 67 kDa glycoprotein (p67) has been proposed to have an important role in regulating the activity of eIF2alpha kinases including the interferon-induced, dsRNA-stimulated protein kinase PKR. To dissect p67-PKR interactions and evaluate their significance in vivo, we have used a vaccinia virus (VV) expression system that successfully mimics PKR control pathways. Recombinant VV were constructed that constitutively express p67 and inducibly express PKR in BSC-40 cells. Stable expression of p67 reduced the PKR-mediated antiviral response and apoptosis. These effects correlated with decreased eIF2alpha phosphorylation, with rescue of PKR-mediated inhibition of protein synthesis, and with partial inhibition of PKR-triggered activation of NF-kappaB. The direct interaction between PKR and p67 was suggested by in vivo and in vitro analyses. These data demonstrate that in vivo p67 is an important modulator of PKR-mediated signal transduction pathways and may provide a useful tool to dissect the relative contributions of PKR to cell growth and stress response.
