Age-dependent patterns of microRNA RISC loading
sequence-specific posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression, acting via RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). They are termed small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Despite initial discovery from unrelated studies, these RNA classes are related in their biogenesis and assembly into RISC RNA–protein complexes, and are able to regulate gene transcripts negatively in di...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibition of RISC Loading
Argonaute proteins are the core components of the microRNP/RISC. The biogenesis and function of microRNAs and endo- and exo- siRNAs are regulated by Ago2, an Argonaute protein with RNA binding and nuclease activities. Currently, there are no in vitro assays suitable for large-scale screening of microRNP/RISC loading modulators. We describe a novel in vitro assay that is based on fluorescence po...
متن کاملIn vitro reconstitution of the human RISC-loading complex.
Targeted gene silencing by RNAi requires the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), whose core component is the protein Argonaute (Ago) bound to a microRNA (miRNA) or an siRNA. In humans, Ago2 is loaded with miRNAs by the action of a specialized assembly called the RISC-loading complex (RLC), comprising the proteins Ago2, Dicer, and TRBP. Here we show that the human RLC assembles spontaneously i...
متن کاملMultilayer checkpoints for microRNA authenticity during RISC assembly.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function through the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which contains an Argonaute (Ago) protein at the core. RISC assembly follows a two-step pathway: miRNA/miRNA* duplex loading into Ago, and separation of the two strands within Ago. Here we show that the 5' phosphate of the miRNA strand is essential for duplex loading into Ago, whereas the preferred 5' nucleotide of th...
متن کاملHuman RISC Couples MicroRNA Biogenesis and Posttranscriptional Gene Silencing
RNA interference is implemented through the action of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Although Argonaute2 has been identified as the catalytic center of RISC, the RISC polypeptide composition and assembly using short interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes has remained elusive. Here we show that RISC is composed of Dicer, the double-stranded RNA binding protein TRBP, and Argonaute2. We demon...
