Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003 RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) have been implicated in posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) and antiviral defense. An Arabidopsis RdRP (SDE1/SGS2) has been previously shown to be required for transgene-induced PTGS but has no general role in ...

Honey Bee Viruses, Colony Health, and Antiviral Defense
Proceedings, 2020 Honey bee colony losses are influenced by multiple abiotic and biotic factors, including viruses. To investigate the effects of RNA viruses on honey bees, we infected bees with a model virus (Sindbis-GFP) in the presence or absence of double-stranded RNA

Roles and programming of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE proteins during Turnip mosaic virus infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 In eukaryotes, ARGONAUTE proteins (AGOs) associate with microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other classes of small RNAs to regulate target RNA or target loci.

Countering Counter-Defense to Antiviral RNAi
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful host defense mechanism against viruses. As a counter-defense, many viruses encode suppressors of RNAi, which - in plants - has provoked counter-counter-defense strategies. Recently, a mechanism was proposed in Drosophila (Zhang et al.) wherein a long noncoding RNA senses a virus-encoded RNAi suppressor to activate ...

RNAi and Antiviral Defense in the Honey Bee [PDF]
Journal of Immunology Research, 2015 Honey bees play an important agricultural and ecological role as pollinators of numerous agricultural crops and other plant species. Therefore, investigating the factors associated with high annual losses of honey bee colonies in the US is an important and active area of research. Pathogen incidence and abundance correlate with Colony Collapse Disorder-

Research Progress in Plant Antiviral Silencing: Argonaute-Centered Perspective
Guangdong nongye kexueIn the long-term evolution process, plants have evolved multi-layered defense mechanisms to sense and respond to the invasion of harmful organisms such as viruses, to adapt to the adverse environment and avoid attacks from harmful organisms.

The Role of ND10 Nuclear Bodies in Herpesvirus Infection: A Frenemy for the Virus?
Viruses, 2021 Nuclear domains 10 (ND10), a.k.a. promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), are membraneless subnuclear domains that are highly dynamic in their protein composition in response to cellular cues.

Susceptibility Genes to Plant Viruses
Viruses, 2018 Plant viruses use cellular factors and resources to replicate and move. Plants respond to viral infection by several mechanisms, including innate immunity, autophagy, and gene silencing, that viruses must evade or suppress.
