RNA editing of microRNA prevents RNA-induced silencing complex recognition of target mRNA [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) integrate with Argonaut (Ago) to create the RNA-induced silencing complex, and regulate gene expression by silencing target mRNAs. RNA editing of miRNA may affect miRNA processing, assembly of the Ago complex and target mRNA binding ...

Oomycete small RNAs bind to the plant RNA-induced silencing complex for virulence [PDF]
The exchange of small RNAs (sRNAs) between hosts and pathogens can lead to gene silencing in the recipient organism, a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi (ck-RNAi).

Comprehensive Evolutionary Analysis of the Major RNA-Induced Silencing Complex Members. [PDF]
RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) plays a critical role in small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNAs (miRNA) pathways. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the major RISC members (AGO, DICER, TRBP, PACT and GW182) represent expression ...

Critical role of backbone coordination in the mRNA recognition by RNA induced silencing complex [PDF]
Lizhe Zhu et al. use a quasi Markov State Model built from extensive molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the dynamics of RISC-mRNA interactions. Their results provide further insight on how a target nucleotide is positioned before recognition by ...

Optimized protocols for RNA-induced silencing complex assembly and cleavage in cultured Drosophila cells [PDF]
Summary: Here, we provide an optimized RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) assembly and cleavage protocol in vitro without using radiolabeled RNA. The protocol is useful to characterize the biochemical properties of the RISC. We describe the preparation

The RNA-induced Silencing Complex: A Versatile Gene-silencing Machine [PDF]
RNA interference is a powerful mechanism of gene silencing that underlies many aspects of eukaryotic biology. On the molecular level, RNA interference is mediated by a family of ribonucleoprotein complexes called RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs ...

Ribosomal proteins L5 and L11 co-operatively inactivate c-Myc via RNA-induced silencing complex [PDF]
Oncogene MYC is highly expressed in many human cancers and functions as a global regulator of ribosome biogenesis. Previously, we reported that ribosomal protein (RP) L11 binds to c-Myc and inhibits its transcriptional activity in response to ribosomal ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (Ago), GW182, and FXR1 proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). RISCs represent a critical checkpoint in the regulation and bioavailability of miRNAs. Recent studies have revealed dysregulation

Structure of Aquifex aeolicus Argonaute Highlights Conformational Flexibility of the PAZ Domain as a Potential Regulator of RNA-induced Silencing Complex Function [PDF]
Gene silencing mediated by RNA interference requires the sequence-specific recognition of target mRNA by the endonuclease Argonaute, the primary enzymatic component of the RNA-induced silencing complex. We report the crystal structure of Aquifex aeolicus
