The Roles of DNA Methyltransferases 1 (DNMT1) in Regulating Sexual Dimorphism in the Cotton Mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis

Insects, 2020
The cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis, is an invasive pest that can cause massive damage to many host plants of agricultural importance. P. solenopsis is highly polyphagous, and shows extreme sexual dimorphism between males and females.

Drosophila Parkin requires PINK1 for mitochondrial translocation and ubiquitinates Mitofusin [PDF]

, 2010
Loss of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin causes early onset Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Parkin has been linked to multiple cellular processes including protein degradation, mitochondrial homeostasis, and autophagy;

Is RNAi Dead? [PDF]

Molecular Therapy, 2011
A recurring theme in the way that many pharmaceutical companies approach new technologies is that they are initially extremely enthusiastic, perhaps excessively so, but then subsequently overreact in the opposite direction, abandoning them when the first bumps in the road come along.

BCR::ABL1‐Induced Enhancer Reprogramming Uncovers Hypersensitivity of Ph+B‐ALL Cells to Enhancer‐Targeting Drugs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ng et al. show that the BCR::ABL1 kinase that drives the lymphoid leukemia Ph+B‐ALL modulates enhancer function by coopting signaling‐inducible transcription factors such as MYC, STAT5, and ETV5. BCR::ABL1 thereby promotes the transcriptional program driving and defining this leukemia and renders Ph+B‐ALL cells hypersensitive to enhancer‐inhibiting ...

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]

, 2015
In plants, RNA- based gene silencing mediated by small RNAs functions at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to negatively regulate target genes, repetitive sequences, viral RNAs and/or transposon elements.

Intracellular Aβ42 Sequestration by a Serine Protease Mitigates Neurotoxicity in a Drosophila Alzheimer's Disease Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Emerging evidence suggests that intraneuronal Aβ accumulation represents an early pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using Drosophila AD model, this study shows that a nonsecreted serine protease Yip7 physically interacts with Aβ. This causes intraneuronal Aβ accumulation but surprisingly reduces the associated neurotoxicity, arguing that ...

Parasite motility is critical for virulence of African trypanosomes. [PDF]

, 2018
African trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei spp., are lethal pathogens that cause substantial human suffering and limit economic development in some of the world's most impoverished regions.

RNAi Mechanisms and Applications

BioTechniques, 2008
Within the past two decades we have become increasingly aware of the roles that RNAs play in regulation of gene expression. The RNA world was given a booster shot with the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), a compendium of mechanisms involving small RNAs (less than 30 bases long) that regulate the expression of genes in a variety of eukaryotic ...
