Identification of Pns6, a putative movement protein of RRSV, as a silencing suppressor
RNA silencing is a potent antiviral response in plants. As a counterdefense, most plant and some animal viruses encode RNA silencing suppressors. In this study, we showed that Pns6, a putative movement protein of Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV), exhibited

The role of TNRC6 proteins in gene silencing [PDF]
Proteins of the GW182 family have recently emerged as key players in miRNAmediated gene silencing. They have been shown to interact with Argonaute proteins, components of the RISC and are assumed to mediate the repression in metazoa. Three paralogues are

Small RNAs play a critical role in the regulation of gene expression in diverse cellular processes. This mechanism, termed RNA silencing or RNAi, also functions as a defense mechanism against molecular parasites such as virus and transposon. Whereas RNA silencing is triggered by viral infection, viruses suppress RNA silencing to establish infection ...

Investigation of RNA-induced gene silencing in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
PhDRNA interference (RNAi) is a gene regulating system to which can silence genes at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In this thesis, a ura4-based RNAi selective assay was developed in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe ...

Plant viruses encode virulence factors or RNA silencing suppressors to reprogram plant cellular processes or to fine-tune host RNA silencing-mediated defense responses.

There are at least three RNA silencing pathways for silencing specific genes in plants. In these pathways, silencing signals can be amplified and transmitted between cells, and may even be self-regulated by feedback mechanisms. Diverse biological roles of these pathways have been established, including defence against viruses, regulation of gene ...

Root-Knot Nematode Parasitism Suppresses Host RNA Silencing
Root-knot nematodes damage crops around the world by developing complex feeding sites from normal root cells of their hosts. The ability to initiate and maintain this feeding site (composed of individual “giant cells”) is essential to their parasitism ...

RNA Interference by Single- and Double-stranded siRNA With a DNA Extension Containing a 3′ Nuclease-resistant Mini-hairpin Structure [PDF]
Selective gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) involves double-stranded small interfering RNA (ds siRNA) composed of single-stranded (ss) guide and passenger RNAs.

Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post‐transcriptional RNA silencing [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-specific manner, resulting in mRNA deadenylation followed by exonucleolytic decay, mRNA ...
