A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

Recent studies on non-coding small RNAs in plants
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2014 There are many non-coding small RNAs in plants and animals, which regulate gene expression via direct cleavage of target mRNAs or via inhibition of translation at the post-transcriptional level.

Therapeutic opportunities of small interfering RNA [PDF]
Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 2009 AbstractFormation of small interfering RNA (siRNA) occurs in two steps involving binding of the RNA nucleases to a large double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) and its cleavage into fragments called siRNA. In the second step, these siRNAs join a multinuclease complex, which degrades the homologous single‐stranded mRNAs.

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 ...

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules [PDF]
, 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.

Small interfering RNA against BCR-ABL transcripts sensitize mutated T315I cells to nilotinib
Haematologica, 2010 Background Selective inhibition of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase by RNA interference has been demonstrated in leukemic cells. We, therefore, evaluated specific BCR-ABL small interfering RNA silencing in BCR-ABL-positive cell lines, including those ...

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells [PDF]
, 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.

Endogenous small interfering RNAs in animals [PDF]
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2008 Until recently, only nematodes among animals had a well-defined endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. This has changed dramatically with the recent discovery of diverse intramolecular and intermolecular substrates that generate endo-siRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster and mice.

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.
