This gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008

Function:
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.

Subunit:
Homodimer. Interacts with EIF2AK2/PKR through its DRBM domains. Interacts with DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2. Also able to interact with dsRNA. Interacts with UBC9 (By similarity). Forms a complex with UBC9 and p53/TP53 (By similarity). Interacts with DUS2L (via DRBM domain).

Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm > perinuclear region.

Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated at Ser-246 in unstressed cells and at Ser-287 in stressed cells. Phosphorylation at Ser-246 appears to be a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-287. Phosphorylation at Ser-246 and Ser-287 are necessary for activation of EIF2AK2/PKR under conditions of stress.

DISEASE:
Defects in PRKRA are the cause of dystonia type 16 (DYT16) [MIM:612067]. DYT16 is an early-onset dystonia-parkinsonism disorder. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures.
DYT16 patients have progressive, generalized dystonia with axial muscle involvement, oro-mandibular (sardonic smile) and laryngeal dystonia and, in some cases, parkinsonian features.

Similarity:
Belongs to the PRKRA family.
Contains 3 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domains.
