Structural basis for Dicer-like function of an engineered RNase III variant and insights into the reaction trajectory of two-Mg2+-ion catalysis

open access: yesRNA Biology, 2022
The RNase III family of dsRNA-specific endonucleases is exemplified by prokaryotic RNase III and eukaryotic Rnt1p, Drosha, and Dicer. Structures of Aquifex aeolicus RNase III (AaRNase III) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rnt1p (ScRnt1p) show that both ...

Double strand RNA-mediated RNA interference through feeding in larval gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
RNA interference (RNAi) technology uses dsRNAs to silence specific targeted genes by downregulating their expression. It has become a potent tool for functional and regulatory studies of insect genes and has potential to be applied for insect control ...

A Facile Method for the Removal of dsRNA Contaminant from In Vitro-Transcribed mRNA

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2019
The increasing importance of in vitro-transcribed (IVT) mRNA for synthesizing the encoded therapeutic protein in vivo demands the manufacturing of pure mRNA products. The major contaminant in the IVT mRNA is double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a transcriptional

Next Generation dsRNA-Based Insect Control: Success So Far and Challenges

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous mRNA sequences aided by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

RNAi-mediated gene silencing in Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliver) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2017
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful strategy for gene function analysis, and it is also widely studied in view of a promising use in pest control. The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliver) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most ...

Requirements for fungal uptake of dsRNA and gene silencing in RNAi-based crop protection strategies.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2021
Growing evidence indicates that RNAi is an effective control strategy for agronomically important fungi. To implement RNAi-based crop protection strategies, dsRNA molecules are either sprayed on foliage or generated by genetically engineered plants. Here,

Double-stranded RNA elements associated with the MVX disease of Agaricus bisporus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been isolated from Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies exhibiting a wide range of disease symptoms. The symptoms which occurred singularly or in combination included; bare cropping areas on commercial beds (primordia disruption)
