DNA interference and beyond: structure and functions of prokaryotic Argonaute proteins
Nature Communications, 2018 In this review, Aravin and colleagues examine bacterial and archaeal Argonaute proteins, discuss their diverse architectures and their possible roles in host defense, proposing additional functions for Argonaute proteins in prokaryotic cells.

The Echinococcus canadensis (G7) genome: A key knowledge of parasitic platyhelminth human diseases [PDF]
, 2017 Background: The parasite Echinococcus canadensis (G7) (phylum Platyhelminthes, class Cestoda) is one of the causative agents of echinococcosis. Echinococcosis is a worldwide chronic zoonosis affecting humans as well as domestic and wild mammals, which ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The infection of plants by pathogens is an intricate process in which genes from both the host and pathogen contribute to the infection process. Susceptibility (S) genes have been defined as plant genes that encode functions that are exploited by pathogens to invade and reproduce in host plants. Mutations in S‐genes therefore result in reduced

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT RNA‐based pesticides represent a transformative approach in agricultural disease management, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fungicides. However, key challenges such as rapid RNA degradation in the environment and inefficient uptake hinder widespread adoption.

Asgard archaea defense systems and their roles in the origin of eukaryotic immunity
Nature CommunicationsDozens of new antiviral systems have been recently characterized in bacteria. Some of these systems are present in eukaryotes and appear to have originated in prokaryotes, but little is known about these defense mechanisms in archaea.

Role of Dicer Enzyme in the Regulation of Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) in CD4+ T Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Background/Aims: Activation of T cell receptors (TCRs) in CD4+ T cells leads to a cascade of signalling reactions including increase of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels with subsequent Ca2+ dependent stimulation of gene expression, proliferation, cell

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since its discovery, RNA interference (RNAi, also known as gene silencing) has been a key tool to downregulate gene expression in plants for a range of applications, including protection against viruses. Many of these applications require the silencing of multiple genes concomitantly.

Micro-RNA mediated regulation of a cytokine factor: TNF-alpha: an exploration of gene expression control in proliferating and quiescent cells [PDF]
, 2016 Two types mechanisms that control gene expression involve cis-regulatory factors and trans-regulatory factors. Cis-acting regulatory RNAs include targeted messenger RNA (mRNA) specificity and AU-rich elements (AREs).
