eLife, 2022 MicroRNAs (miRNAs), in association with Argonaute (AGO) proteins, direct repression by pairing to sites within mRNAs. Compared to pairing preferences of the miRNA seed region (nucleotides 2–8), preferences of the miRNA 3′ region are poorly understood ...

Analysis of Genetic Variation of Rice Straw Characteristics and Its Influence on Biomass. [PDF]
Plant DirectABSTRACT Rice straw is a key source of lignocellulosic biomass. GWAS can be used to identify genetic loci controlling stem morphological traits that influence biomass. This study aimed to investigate the genotypic diversity of rice straw internodes through GWAS, using 34,232 single‐nucleotide polymorphic sites with a minor allelic frequency (MAF ...

Argonaute and Argonaute-Bound Small RNAs in Stem Cells [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Small RNAs are essential for a variety of cellular functions. Argonaute (AGO) proteins are associated with all of the different classes of small RNAs, and are indispensable in small RNA-mediated regulatory pathways. AGO proteins have been identified in various types of stem cells in diverse species from plants and animals.

Plants, 2019 Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) are natural transcripts that can act as endogenous sponges of microRNAs (miRNAs), modulating miRNA action upon target mRNAs. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are one among the various classes of ceRNAs. They are produced from a

Molecular Cell, 2013 In this issue of Molecular Cell, De et al. (2013) report that highly complementary targets promote release of small RNAs from effector Argonaute complexes, thus providing mechanistic insights into regulation of small RNA stability and implications for siRNA design.

AtXRN4 Affects the Turnover of Chosen miRNA*s in Arabidopsis
Plants, 2020 Small RNA (sRNA) turnover is a key but poorly understood mechanism that determines the homeostasis of sRNAs. Animal XRN genes contribute the degradation of sRNAs, AtXRN2 and AtXRN3 also contribute the pri-miRNA processing and miRNA loop degradation in ...

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2006 RNA interference (RNAi) has been greatly exploited in recent years as an increasingly effective tool to study gene function by gene silencing. The introduction of exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into a cell can trigger this gene silencing process.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plant argonautes (AGOs) play important roles in the defense responses against viruses. The expression of Nicotiana benthamiana AGO5 gene (NbAGO5) is highly induced by Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) infection; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Innate Immunity Activation and RNAi Interplay in Citrus Exocortis Viroid—Tomato Pathosystem
Viruses, 2018 Although viroids are the smallest and simplest plant pathogens known, the molecular mechanisms underlying their pathogenesis remain unclear. To unravel these mechanisms, a dual approach was implemented consisting of in silico identification of potential ...
