Target RNA-directed tailing and trimming purifies the sorting of endo-siRNAs between the two Drosophila Argonaute proteins.
In flies, 22-23-nucleotide (nt) microRNA duplexes typically contain mismatches and begin with uridine, so they bind Argonaute1 (Ago1), whereas 21-nt siRNA duplexes are perfectly paired and begin with cytidine, promoting their loading into Ago2. A subset of Drosophila endogenous siRNAs-the hairpin-derived hp-esiRNAs-are born as mismatched duplexes that often begin with uridine. These would be pr...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of small RNAs involved in RNA silencing.
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a potent trigger of sequence-specific gene silencing mechanisms known as RNA silencing or RNA interference. The recognition of the target sequences is mediated by ribonucleoprotein complexes that contain 21- to 28-nucleotide (nt) guide RNAs derived from processing of the trigger dsRNA. Here, we review the experimental and bioinformatic approaches that were used to...
متن کاملRna Interference: Trends in Small Regulatory Rnas and Gene Silencing
RNAi pathway is a biologically conserved phenomenon which regulates the expression of genes through transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism. The pathway involves the network of different proteins to degrade the target mRNA and triggered by small regulatory RNAs. These small regulatory RNAs are generated via action of dicer enzyme on long double-stranded RNA or hairpin R...
متن کاملTailor: a computational framework for detecting non-templated tailing of small silencing RNAs
Small silencing RNAs, including microRNAs, endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), have been shown to play important roles in fine-tuning gene expression, defending virus and controlling transposons. Loss of small silencing RNAs or components in their pathways often leads to severe developmental defects, including lethality and sterility. Recently, no...
متن کاملRNA silencing: small RNAs as ubiquitous regulators of gene expression.
'RNA silencing' is the suppression of gene expression through nucleotide sequence-specific interactions that are mediated by RNA. Initially identified as an immune system that is targeted against transposons and viruses, RNA silencing is emerging as a fundamental regulatory process that is likely to affect many layers of endogenous gene expression in most, if not all, eukaryotes.
