Beet Curly Top Iran Virus Rep and V2 Suppress Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing via Distinct Modes of Action [PDF]
Beet curly top Iran virus (BCTIV) is a yield-limiting geminivirus belonging to the becurtovirus genus. The genome organization of BCTIV is unique such that the complementary strand of BCTIV resembles Mastrevirus, whereas the virion strand organization is

Aptamer-mediated transcriptional gene silencing of Foxp3 inhibits regulatory T cells and potentiates antitumor response [PDF]
The inhibition of immunosuppressive mechanisms may switch the balance between tolerance and surveillance, leading to an increase in antitumor activity. Regulatory T cells play an important role in the control of immunosuppression, exhibiting the unique ...

Cotton Leaf Curl Multan virus C4 protein suppresses both transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing by interacting with SAM synthetase. [PDF]
Gene silencing is a natural antiviral defense mechanism in plants. For effective infection, plant viruses encode viral silencing suppressors to counter this plant antiviral response.

Bidirectional transcription directs both transcriptional gene activation and suppression in human cells. [PDF]
Small RNAs targeted to gene promoters in human cells have been shown to modulate both transcriptional gene suppression and activation. However, the mechanism involved in transcriptional activation has remained poorly defined, and an endogenous RNA ...

FXN promoter silencing in the humanized mouse model of Friedreich Ataxia [PDF]
Background - Friedreich ataxia is caused by an expanded GAA triplet-repeat sequence in intron 1 of the FXN gene that results in epigenetic silencing of the FXN promoter.

Transgene-induced gene silencing is not affected by a change in ploidy level. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Whole genome duplication, which results in polyploidy, is a common feature of plant populations and a recurring event in the evolution of flowering plants.
