Inhibition of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by ISG15 does not require its conjugation to protein substrates by the HERC5 E3 ligase [PDF]
Chronic infection of the liver by hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces a range of host factors including IFN-stimulated genes such as ISG15. ISG15 functions as an antiviral factor that limits virus replication. Previous studies have suggested that ISG15 could

Small interfering RNA: From designing to therapeutic in cancer
Cancer has become a significant public health concern worldwide. It is a group of diseases, often resulting from the dysregulation of multiple cellular pathways involved in differentiation, cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. These

IDN1 and IDN2 are required for de novo DNA methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark affecting genes and transposons. Screening for mutants that fail to establish DNA methylation yielded two we termed "involved in de novo" (idn) 1 and 2.

Inhibition of the osteoclast V‐ATPase by small interfering RNAs [PDF]
The multisubunit enzyme V‐ATPase harbours isoforms of individual subunits. a3 is one of four 116 kDa subunit a isoforms, and it is crucial for bone resorption. We used small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules to knock down a3 in rat osteoclast cultures. Labeled siRNA‐molecules entered osteoclasts via endocytosis and knocked down the a3 mRNA.

Gene silencing in tick cell lines using small interfering or long double-stranded RNA [PDF]
Gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) is an important research tool in many areas of biology. To effectively harness the power of this technique in order to explore tick functional genomics and tick-microorganism interactions, optimised parameters ...

Small Interfering RNA in Kidney Diseases: Promises and Limitations
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are short, double-stranded RNA molecules that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression, particularly through a natural process called RNA interference (RNAi).

Bod1, a novel kinetochore protein required for chromosome biorientation [PDF]
We have combined the proteomic analysis of Xenopus laevis in vitro–assembled chromosomes with RNA interference and live cell imaging in HeLa cells to identify novel factors required for proper chromosome segregation. The first of these is Bod1, a protein

Nanoparticle‐mediated siRNA delivery systems for cancer therapy
The small interfering RNA (siRNA)‐based therapeutics have raised great attention since the first RNA interference (RNAi)‐derived drug, patisiran, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, which represented a landmark in the field of gene ...
