Selective silencing of angiotensin receptor subtype 1a (AT1aR) by RNA interference.
Angiotensin II exerts its physiological effects by activating multiple subtypes of its receptor such as AT1a-, AT1b-, and AT2-receptors. Because of a high degree of similarity among these G-protein-coupled receptors, it has been difficult to assign diverse physiological actions of angiotensin II through these receptor subtypes. We have developed small interfering RNAs to selectively inhibit the...
متن کاملATP hydrolysis by UPF1 is required for efficient translation termination at premature stop codons
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) represents a eukaryotic quality control pathway that recognizes and rapidly degrades transcripts harbouring nonsense mutations to limit accumulation of non-functional and potentially toxic truncated polypeptides. A critical component of the NMD machinery is UPF1, an RNA helicase whose ATPase activity is essential for NMD, but for which the precise function and...

متن کاملEffect of premature termination of translation on mRNA stability depends on the site of ribosome release.
Translational stop codons were introduced at various locations in the protein-coding regions of the monocistronic bla and ompA gene transcripts of Escherichia coli, and the decay characteristics of the upstream and downstream mRNA segments were analyzed. Premature termination of translation at codon position 26 reduced the stability of both the translated and ribosome-free segments of bla mRNA,...
متن کاملNovel small molecules potentiate premature termination codon readthrough by aminoglycosides
Nonsense mutations introduce premature termination codons and underlie 11% of genetic disease cases. High concentrations of aminoglycosides can restore gene function by eliciting premature termination codon readthrough but with low efficiency. Using a high-throughput screen, we identified compounds that potentiate readthrough by aminoglycosides at multiple nonsense alleles in yeast. Chemical op...
