RNA-dependent control of gene amplification.
We exploit the unusual genome organization of the ciliate cell to analyze the control of specific gene amplification during a nuclear differentiation process. Ciliates contain two types of nuclei within one cell, the macronucleus and the micronucleus; and after sexual reproduction a new macronucleus is formed from a micronuclear derivative. During macronuclear differentiation, most extensive DN...
متن کاملEnhancement 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...
متن کاملCell cycle control of chorion gene amplification.
Over-replication of two clusters of chorion genes in Drosophila ovarian follicle cells is essential for rapid eggshell biosynthesis. The relationship of this amplification to the follicle cell cycles has remained unclear. To investigate the regulation of amplification, we developed a technique to detect amplifying chorion genes in individual follicle cells using BrdU incorporation and FISH. Amp...
متن کاملTemplate-dependent multiple displacement amplification for profiling human circulating RNA.
Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) is widely used in whole-genome/transcriptome amplification. However, template-independent amplification (TIA) in MDA is a commonly observed phenomenon, particularly when using high concentrations of random hexamer primers and extended incubation times. Here, we demonstrate that the use of random pentamer primers with 5´ ends blocked by a C18 spacer resu...
متن کاملIndication of Gene Amplification in Rhynchosciara by Rna-dna Hybridization
nism of cell differentiation was recently demonstrated in the case of ribosomal RNA cistrons of amphibian oocytes (1-3), and it seems that this phenomenon is of widespread occurrence (4) . In somatic cells the evidence for amplification thus far is based on cytological observations . The best known cases are those of Rhynchosciara and Sciara ; in the prepupal phase of these insects, it was poss...
