The convergence of autophagy, small RNA and the stress response – implications for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in plants

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2014
Recent discoveries in eukaryotes have shown that autophagy-mediated degradation of DICER and ARGONAUTE (AGO), the proteins involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), can occur in response to viral infection and starvation.

Functional Analysis of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus/Cotton Leaf Curl Multan Betasatellite RNA Silencing Suppressors

open access: yesBiology, 2015
In South Asia, Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is caused by a complex of phylogenetically-related begomovirus species and a specific betasatellite, Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB).

Overexpression of Arabidopsis thaliana ERI, the homolog of C. elegans Enhancer of RNAinterference, leads to enhanced growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Organisms adopt a wide range of strategies to adapt to change. Gene silencing describes the ability of organisms to modulate the expression of susceptible genes at certain times at the transcriptional or the translational level.

A var gene upstream element controls protein synthesis at the level of translation initiation in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clonally variant protein expression in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum generates phenotypic variability and allows isogenic populations to adapt to environmental changes encountered during blood stage infection.

RNA-interference components are dispensable for transcriptional silencing of the drosophila bithorax-complex.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundBeyond their role in post-transcriptional gene silencing, Dicer and Argonaute, two components of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery, were shown to be involved in epigenetic regulation of centromeric heterochromatin and transcriptional gene ...

Post-transcriptional control of nuclear-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunits in Trypanosoma brucei:evidence for genome-wide conservation of life-cycle stage-specific regulatory elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Trypanosomes represent an excellent model for the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression because their genome is organized into polycistronic transcription units.

Modulation of miRISC-Mediated Gene Silencing in Eukaryotes

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Gene expression is regulated at multiple levels in eukaryotic cells. Regulation at the post-transcriptional level is modulated by various trans-acting factors that bind to specific sequences in the messenger RNA (mRNA).

Antiviral innate immune response of RNA interference

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014
RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient, natural process conserved among species from different kingdoms. RNAi is a transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism in which, double-stranded RNA or hairpin RNA is cleaved by an RNase III ...

The key role of terminators on the expression and post‐transcriptional gene silencing of transgenes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, 2020
SummaryTransgenes have become essential to modern biology, being an important tool in functional genomic studies and also in the development of biotechnological products. One of the major challenges in the generation of transgenic lines concerns the expression of transgenes, which, compared to endogenes, are particularly susceptible to silencing ...
