Simultaneous Suppression of Two Distinct Serotonin N-Acetyltransferase Isogenes by RNA Interference Leads to Severe Decreases in Melatonin and Accelerated Seed Deterioration in Rice

Biomolecules, 2020
Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (SNAT) is the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin biosynthetic pathway, in which serotonin is converted into N-acetylserotonin (NAS) in plants.

Identification of Silencing Suppressor Protein Encoded by Strawberry Mottle Virus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Strawberry mottle virus (SMoV) is associated with strawberry decline disease, causing losses to fruit yield and quality. In this study, using a screening system that enables detection of both local and systemic plant host (RNA silencing) defense ...

Control of Aflatoxin Production of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus Using RNA Silencing Technology by Targeting aflD (nor-1) Gene. [PDF]

, 2011
Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus are important pathogens of cotton, corn, peanuts and other oil-seed crops, producing toxins both in the field and during storage.

Acquisition of full-length viral helicase domains by insect retrotransposon-encoded polypeptides

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Recent metagenomic studies in insects identified many sequences unexpectedly closely related to plant virus genes. Here we describe a new example of this kind, insect R1 LINEs with an additional C-terminal domain in their open reading frame 2.

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]

, 2010
For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

RNA silencing movement in plants [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2015
AbstractMulticellular organisms, like higher plants, need to coordinate their growth and development and to cope with environmental cues. To achieve this, various signal molecules are transported between neighboring cells and distant organs to control the fate of the recipient cells and organs.

RNA interference: more than a research tool in the vertebrates' adaptive immunity

Retrovirology, 2005
In recent years, RNA silencing, usage of small double stranded RNAs of ~21 – 25 base pairs to regulate gene expression, has emerged as a powerful research tool to dissect the role of unknown host cell factors in this 'post-genomic' era.

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules

, 2010
The tospovirus NSs protein was previously shown to suppress the antiviral RNA silencing mechanism in plants. Here the biochemical analysis of NSs proteins from different tospoviruses, using purified NSs or NSs containing cell extracts, is described.

Computational discovery of animal small RNA genes and targets [PDF]

, 2007
Though recently discovered, small RNAs appear to play a wealth of regulatory roles, being involved in degradation of target mRNAs, translation silencing of target genes, chromatin remodeling and transposon silencing.

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells

, 2008
The NS3 protein of the tenuivirus rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) has previously been shown to represent the viral RNA interference (RNAi) suppressor and is active in both plant and insect cells by binding short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro.
