RNA silencing in the dermatophyte Microsporum canis.
Dermatomycoses caused by Microsporum canis are frequent in domestic animals and easily transmissible to humans. Several proteases secreted by this fungus were identified as potential virulence factors, but the construction of deficient strains is required to investigate their role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Using target genes encoding two of these proteases, a first evaluation of the u...
متن کاملRNA silencing in Monterey.
The tenth annual Keystone Symposium on the Mechanism and Biology of Silencing convened in Monterey, California, in March 2011. Those seeking some West Coast sunshine were, unfortunately, met with incessant precipitation throughout the meeting. Nevertheless, attendees were brightened by enlightening and vigorous scientific discussions. Here, we summarize the results presented at the meeting, whi...
متن کاملRNA silencing
RNA silencing is a newly discovered mechanism of genetic regulation in eukaryotes. It is based on an immune system that protects eukaryotes against viruses and transposons and in some respects it is conceptually similar to classical humoral immunity. However RNA silencing is distinct from humoral immunity in that it only targets nucleic acids and has a specificity mechanism based on nucleic aci...
متن کاملRNA silencing in Drosophila.
Knowledge of the role of RNA in affecting gene expression has expanded in the past several years. Small RNAs serve as homology guides to target messenger RNAs for destruction at the post-transcriptional level in the experimental technique known as RNA interference and in the silencing of some transgenes. These small RNAs are also involved in sequence-specific targeting of chromatin modification...
متن کاملChromatin Silencing: RNA in the Driving Seat
Recent studies have provided major new insights into the mechanism by which eukaryotic organisms initiate heterochromatin formation. Surprisingly, RNA appears to be a central component of the chromatin silencing machinery.
