Argonaute 2 Is Required for Extra-embryonic Endoderm Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: In mouse, although four Argonaute (AGO) proteins with partly overlapping functions in small-RNA pathways exist, only Ago2 deficiency causes embryonic lethality.

Binding of small interfering RNA molecules is crucial for RNA interference suppressor activity of rice hoja blanca virus NS3 in plants [PDF]
, 2009 The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca tenuivirus represents a viral suppressor of RNAi that sequesters small interfering (si)RNAs in vitro. To determine whether this siRNA binding property is the critical determinant for the suppressor activity of NS3, an ...

Inhibition of cd46 receptor by rnai enhances cell resistance to bvdv infection [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2020 This study aimed to investigate the inhibition effect of CD46 on the replication of bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDV). BVDV causes bovine viral diarrheal mucosal disease, and prevention of BVDV infection is very important for livestock production ...

Efficient CRISPR-rAAV engineering of endogenous genes to study protein function by allele-specific RNAi. [PDF]
, 2015 Gene knockout strategies, RNAi and rescue experiments are all employed to study mammalian gene function. However, the disadvantages of these approaches include: loss of function adaptation, reduced viability and gene overexpression that rarely matches ...

RNA interference in marine and freshwater sponges [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The marine sponge Tethya wilhelma and the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri are emerging model organisms to study evolution, gene regulation, development, and physiology in non-bilaterian animal systems. Thus far, functional methods (i.e.,

Comparative miRomics of Salt-Tolerant and Salt-Sensitive Rice
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017 Increase in soil salt causes osmotic and ionic stress to plants, which inhibits their growth and productivity. Rice production is also hampered by salinity and the effect of salt is most severe at the seedling and reproductive stages. Salainity tolerance

The Notch pathway regulates both the proliferation and differentiation of follicular cells in the panoistic ovary of Blattella germanica [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 The Notch pathway is an essential regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation during development. Its involvement in insect oogenesis has been examined in insect species with meroistic ovaries, and it is known to play a fundamental role in cell ...

VCP-dependent muscle degeneration is linked to defects in a dynamic tubular lysosomal network in vivo. [PDF]
, 2015 Lysosomes are classically viewed as vesicular structures to which cargos are delivered for degradation. Here, we identify a network of dynamic, tubular lysosomes that extends throughout Drosophila muscle, in vivo. Live imaging reveals that autophagosomes
