Evidence for nuclear processing of plant micro RNA and short interfering RNA precursors.
The Arabidopsis genome encodes four Dicer-like (DCL) proteins, two of which contain putative nuclear localization signals. This suggests one or more nuclear pathways for processing double-stranded (ds) RNA in plants. To study the subcellular location of processing of nuclear-encoded dsRNA involved in transcriptional silencing, we examined short interfering (si) RNA and micro (mi) RNA accumulati...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--
Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...
متن کاملLipid nanoparticles for short interfering RNA delivery.
The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) in mammalian cells has created a new class of therapeutics based on the reversible silencing of specific disease-causing genes. This therapeutic potential depends on the ability to deliver inducers of RNAi, such as short-interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA), to cells of target tissues. This chapter reviews various challenges and delivery strateg...
متن کاملTwo classes of short interfering RNA in RNA silencing.
RNA silencing is a eukaryotic genome defence system that involves processing of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into 21-26 nt, short interfering RNA (siRNA). The siRNA mediates suppression of genes corresponding to the dsRNA through targeted RNA degradation. In some plant systems there are additional silencing processes, involving systemic spread of silencing and RNA-directed methylation/transcript...
متن کاملMessenger RNA processing and nuclear structure: isolation of nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles containing beta-globin messenger RNA precursors
To explore the relationships between transcription, messenger RNA (mRNA) processing, and nuclear structure, ribonucleoprotein particles containing heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNP) have been purified from globin-producing mouse Friend erythroleukemia cells. These nuclear hnRNP particles sediment at 50S-200S and contain, in addition to high molecular weight hnRNA, a specific set of nuclear prote...
