Protease activity, self interaction, and small interfering RNA binding of the silencing suppressor p1b from cucumber vein yellowing ipomovirus.
The RNA silencing pathway mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) plays an important antiviral role in eukaryotes. To counteract this defense barrier, a large number of plant viruses express proteins with RNA silencing suppression activity. Recently, it was reported that the ipomovirus Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), which lacks the typical silencing suppressor of members of the famil...
متن کاملRNA silencing suppression by a second copy of the P1 serine protease of Cucumber vein yellowing ipomovirus, a member of the family Potyviridae that lacks the cysteine protease HCPro.
The P1 protein of viruses of the family Potyviridae is a serine proteinase, which is highly variable in length and sequence, and its role in the virus infection cycle is not clear. One of the proposed activities of P1 is to assist HCPro, the product that viruses of the genus Potyvirus use to counteract antiviral defense mediated by RNA silencing. Indeed, an HCPro-coding region is present in all...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--
Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...
متن کاملA critical domain of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein for RNA silencing suppressor activity.
Alignment of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein sequences from two CMV subgroups revealed two highly variable regions. To examine contributions of variable sequence domains to the suppressor activity, we performed a comparative study between 2b proteins of a subgroup I strain (SD-CMV) and a subgroup II strain (Q-CMV). Here we show that the suppressor activity of SD2b is stronger than that o...
متن کاملSmall interfering RNA-mediated silencing of cytochrome P450 3A4 gene.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a specific and powerful tool used to manipulate gene expression and study gene function. The cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) can metabolize more than 50% of drugs. In the present study, we investigated whether vector-expressed small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) altered the CYP3A4 expression and function using the Chinese hamster cell line (V79) overexpressing CYP3A4 (CHL-3A...
