Enhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase

Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...

enhancement of rna interference effect in p19 ec cells by an rna-dependent rna polymerase

background: rna interference (rnai) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded rna (dsrna) to specifically inhibit gene expression. the non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsrna in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing rnai to study gene function. duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsrna (sirna) inhibit gene expression by rnai. in some organisms, sirna can als...

Crystal structures of murine norovirus-1 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Norovirus is one of the leading agents of gastroenteritis and is a major public health concern. In this study, the crystal structures of recombinant RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) from murine norovirus-1 (MNV-1) and its complex with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) were determined at 2.5 Å resolution. Crystals with C2 symmetry revealed a dimer with half a dimer in the asymmetrical unit, and the protei...
