Enhancement 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 کاملThe Functions of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases in Arabidopsis.
One recently identified mechanism that regulates mRNA abundance is RNA silencing, and pioneering work in Arabidopsis thaliana and other genetic model organisms helped define this process. RNA silencing pathways are triggered by either self-complementary fold-back structures or the production of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that gives rise to small RNAs (smRNAs) known as microRNAs (miRNAs) or sma...
متن کاملAn endogenous F-box protein regulates ARGONAUTE1 in Arabidopsis thaliana
ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) mediates microRNA- and small interfering RNA-directed posttranscriptional gene silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana. Mutant alleles of SQUINT (SQN) slightly reduce AGO1 activity and have weak effects on shoot morphology. A screen for mutations that suppress the sqn phenotype produced loss-of-function mutations in the F-box gene FBW2. Mutations in FBW2 not only suppress sqn but al...
متن کاملPollen lethality: a phenomenon in Arabidopsis RNA interference plants.
To study gene function, generation of loss-of-function mutants by RNA interference (RNAi) approaches and T-DNA insertional mutagenesis are widely used in plant science and have proven to be very successful in determining gene functions. AGAMOUS-LIKE18 (AGL18) is a MADS-box gene that is expressed during Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) pollen development (Alvarez-Buylla et al., 2000; Pina et a...

RNA interference (RNAi) is the phenomenon that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces post-transcriptional sequence-specific gene silencing in eukaryote."2] During the process of RNAi, long dsRNA is cleaved into -21 nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and the siRNAs then guide sequencespecific mRNA degradation. Since the discovery in Caenorhabditis etegans,3] RNAi has been shown to eccur in many e...
