Molecular Requirements for RNA-induced Silencing Complex Assembly in the Drosophila RNA Interference Pathway [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Complexes in the Drosophila RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) assembly pathway can be resolved using native gel electrophoresis, revealing an initiator called R1, an intermediate called R2, and an effector called R3 (now referred to as holo-RISC).

Capturing microRNA targets using an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-trap approach [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
Identifying targets is critical for understanding the biological effects of microRNA (miRNA) expression. The challenge lies in characterizing the cohort of targets for a specific miRNA, especially when targets are being actively down-regulated in miRNA– RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)–messengerRNA (mRNA) complexes.

Classification of and detection techniques for RNAi-induced effects in GM plants [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biotechnological tool used for gene silencing in plants, with both endogenous and exogenous applications. Endogenous approaches, such as host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), involve genetically modified (GM) plants, while ...

RNA-induced initiation of transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex structure and function [PDF]

open access: bronzeRNA Biology, 2019
Heterochromatic regions of the genome are epigenetically regulated to maintain a heritable '"silent state"'. In fission yeast and other organisms, epigenetic silencing is guided by nascent transcripts, which are targeted by the RNA interference pathway. The key effector complex of the RNA interference pathway consists of small interfering RNA molecules

In Vitro Assembly of Plant RNA-Induced Silencing Complexes Facilitated by Molecular Chaperone HSP90 [PDF]

open access: bronzeMolecular Cell, 2010
RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) play central roles in posttranscriptional gene silencing. In plants, the mechanism of RISC assembly has remained elusive due to the lack of cell-free systems that recapitulate the process. In this report, we demonstrate that plant AGO1 protein synthesized by in vitro translation using an extract of evacuolated ...

Biochemical identification of Argonaute 2 as the sole protein required for RNA-induced silencing complex activity [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004
RNA interference is carried out by the small double-stranded RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The RISC-bound small RNA guides the RISC complex to identify and cleave mRNAs with complementary sequences. The proteins that make up the RISC complex and cleave mRNA have not been unequivocally defined.
