RNA major groove modifications improve siRNA stability and biological activity
RNA 5-methyl and 5-propynyl pyrimidine analogs were substituted into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to probe major groove steric effects in the active RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Synthetic RNA guide strands containing varied combinations of propynyl and methyl substitution revealed that all C-5 substitutions increased the thermal stability of siRNA duplexes containing them. Cellular ...
متن کاملBiological stability and activity of siRNA in ionic liquids.
We report substantially enhanced biological stability of siRNA in a hydrated ionic liquid (IL) based on buffered choline dihydrogen phosphate (CDP). The results show that hydrated CDP IL substantially prolongs the shelf-life of siRNA for up to three months in the presence of RNase A. Remarkably, siRNA stored in the IL remained active and eGFP siRNA exhibited clear gene knockdown effects in eGFP...
متن کاملInfluence of major-groove chemical modifications of DNA on transcription by bacterial RNA polymerases
DNA templates containing a set of base modifications in the major groove (5-substituted pyrimidines or 7-substituted 7-deazapurines bearing H, methyl, vinyl, ethynyl or phenyl groups) were prepared by PCR using the corresponding base-modified 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). The modified templates were used in an in vitro transcription assay using RNA polymerase from Bacillus subti...
متن کاملRNA کوچک مداخله گر(siRNA)
بیماری‌های عفونی ناشی از میکروارگانیسم‌ها هم‌چنان به‌عنوان علل عمده مرگ در سراسر جهان مطرح بوده و افزایش تعداد سویه‌های مقاوم آن‌ها باعث نگرانی زیادی شده است. از زمان کشف خاموشی ژن توسط RNA (RNAi) انقلابی در زمینه کاربرد درمانی آن به‌راه افتاده است. استفاده از RNA مداخله‌گر پتانسیل درمانی بسیاری برای درمان یا پیش‌گیری از بیماری‌ها دارد. این RNA ها نقش‌های حیاتى در تنظیم رونویسى و پس از رونویسى،...
متن کاملProtein–RNA interactions: Getting into the major groove
RNA–protein interactions are involved in many cellular processes, including information storage and transfer, catalysis and transcriptional activation. Our structural knowledge of these interactions at atomic resolution is based on X-ray crystallographic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies (for a review see [1]). The crystal structures of a number of RNA–protein complexes have been rep...
