Homology-dependent Gene Silencing in Plants.
Homology-dependent gene silencing phenomena in plants have received considerable attention, especially when it was discovered that the presence of homologous sequences not only affected the stability of transgene expression, but that the activity of endogenous genes could be altered after insertion of homologous transgenes into the genome. Homology-mediated inactivation most likely comprises at...
متن کاملHomology-dependent gene silencing in Paramecium.
Microinjection at high copy number of plasmids containing only the coding region of a gene into the Paramecium somatic macronucleus led to a marked reduction in the expression of the corresponding endogenous gene(s). The silencing effect, which is stably maintained throughout vegetative growth, has been observed for all Paramecium genes examined so far: a single-copy gene (ND7), as well as memb...
متن کاملHomology-dependent gene silencing mechanisms in fungi.
Homology-dependent gene silencing (HDGS) is a ubiquitous phenomenon among fungi, plants, and animals. Gene silencing can be triggered and can affect artificially introduced nucleic acid molecules, both DNA and RNA, and/or can act on endogenous duplicated sequences. Although the various HDGS phenomena may be related each other, probably deriving from an ancestral defense mechanism, relevant diff...
متن کاملHomology-dependent gene silencing in plants and fungi: a number of variations on the same theme.
Homology-dependent gene silencing is a phenomenon that occurs in a broad range of organisms and has implications for both basic and applied science. Gene silencing is a mechanism that controls invading transposons and provides protection against virus infections. It also has evolutionary implications in genome maintenance. Recent studies have begun to unravel the molecular mechanisms of this pu...
متن کاملGene silencing and homology-dependent gene silencing in Arabidopsis: genetic modifiers and DNA methylation.
Transgenes inserted into the plant genome can become inactive (gene silencing) or result in silencing of homologous cellular genes [homology-dependent gene silencing (HDG silencing)]. In an earlier study we reported HDG silencing of chalcone synthase (CHS) in Arabidopsis. This study concerns genetic revertants of one of the CHS HDG-silencing transgenic homozygotes. Two monogenic recessive trans...
