Metabolic engineering of cottonseed oil biosynthesis pathway via RNA interference
Cottonseed oil is recognized as an important oil in food industry for its unique characters: low flavor reversion and the high level of antioxidants (VitaminE) as well as unsaturated fatty acid. However, the cottonseed oil content of cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is only around 20%. In this study, we modified the accumulation of oils by the down-regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carbox...
متن کاملEngineering Cell Function by Rna Interference
RNA interference (RNAi) is a recently discovered technique for the directed inhibition of gene expression at the level of the mRNA. Its specificity and potency make it a promising method for manipulating cellular phenotypes in eukaryotic cell lines and primary cells. RNAi is already being explored for therapeutic and bioprocessing applications, and it is expected that this will only expand as u...

Metabolic engineering, which depends upon metabolite profiling and analysis, holds great potential, in combination with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, in facilitating the development of newly emerging technologies s...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملRNA-guided human genome engineering via Cas9.
Bacteria and archaea have evolved adaptive immune defenses, termed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems, that use short RNA to direct degradation of foreign nucleic acids. Here, we engineer the type II bacterial CRISPR system to function with custom guide RNA (gRNA) in human cells. For the endogenous AAVS1 locus, we obtained targetin...
