Transfer RNA and Origins of RNA Interference [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Almost 30 years ago the first microRNA (miRNA) was detected (Lee et al., 1993), later put in mechanistical context by the discovery of the RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). miRNA is the variable RISC element (guide) that recognizes messenger RNA (mRNA) targets in the RNAi process facilitated by Argonaute (Ago) proteins ...

Using RNA interference to identify genes required for RNA interference [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon in which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) silences endogenous gene expression. By injecting pools of dsRNAs into Caenorhabditis elegans , we identified a dsRNA that acts as a potent suppressor of the RNAi mechanism.

The RNA interference revolution [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 The discovery of double-stranded RNA-mediated gene silencing has rapidly led to its use as a method of choice for blocking a gene, and has turned it into one of the most discussed topics in cell biology. Although still in its infancy, the field of RNA interference has already produced a vast array of results, mainly in Caenorhabditis elegans, but ...

RNA Interference in Ticks [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2011 Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals and humans, and are considered to be second worldwide to mosquitoes as vectors of human diseases(1) and the most important vectors affecting cattle industry worldwide(2). Ticks are classified in the subclass Acari, order Parasitiformes, suborder Ixodida and are distributed ...

Nanocircular RNAs for RNA interference [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2008 We designed and synthesized dumbbell-shaped nanocircular RNAs for RNA interference applications, which consist of a stem and two loops(1). RNA dumbbells are specifically recognized and cleaved by the human Dicer enzyme, and are thus transformed into double-stranded RNA in cells, although this RNA is resistant to degradation in serum.

A fungal Argonaute interferes with RNA interference [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2018 Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing phenomena, exemplified by RNA interference (RNAi), require a unique class of proteins called Argonautes (AGOs). An AGO protein typically forms a protein-sRNA complex that contributes to gene silencing using the loaded sRNA as a specificity determinant. Here, we show that MoAGO2, one of the three AGO genes in the

Delivery of RNA Interference [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2006 Over the last few years, RNA Interference (RNAi), a naturally occurring mechanism of gene regulation conserved in plant and mammalian cells, has opened numerous novel opportunities for basic research across the field of biology. While RNAi has helped accelerate discovery and understanding of gene functions, it also has great potential as a therapeutic ...

Active RNA interference in mitochondria [PDF]
Cell Research, 2020 RNA interference (RNAi) has been thought to be a gene-silencing pathway present in most eukaryotic cells to safeguard the genome against retrotransposition. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have also become a powerful tool for studying gene functions.

BMJ, 2004 Over the past decade “RNA interference” has emerged as a natural mechanism for silencing gene expression. This ancient cellular antiviral response can be harnessed to allow specific inhibition of the function of any chosen target genes, including those involved in causing diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and hepatitis. RNA interference is already proving

RNA Interference and Small RNA Analysis [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2019 Small silencing RNAs have provided powerful reverse genetics tools and have opened new areas of research. This introduction describes the use of RNAi to suppress expression of individual genes for loss-of-function analysis. It also summarizes methods for measuring specific and global changes in small RNA expression, as well as methods to inhibit the ...
