Synthesis and characterization of small circular double-stranded RNAs.

چکیده
Small circular double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) were synthesized. The structural analysis by atomic force microscopy gave direct images for the interpretation of the structural strain present in circular dsRNAs. Finally, we demonstrated that circular dsRNA caused RNAi effect in cells.

Synthesis of infectious viroids and other circular RNAs.
Viroids are small autonomously replicating RNAs that share structural features with other subviral circular single-stranded RNAs of plants. Viroids and other circular single-stranded RNAs can be synthesised in vitro by a PCR-based procedure using a simple set of reactions. Two end-to-end primers are selected from a desired region of the viroid, one for the synthesis of the first strand cDNA and...
متن کاملCharacterization of double-stranded RNA satellites associated with the Trichomonas vaginalis virus.
Three small and distinct satellite double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) denoted s1, s1', and s2 were recently described for a Trichomonas vaginalis isolate harboring a dsRNA virus. Since characterization of these satellite dsRNAs might provide insight into the virus replication cycle and virus-host interactions, full-length cDNAs to s1 and s1' dsRNAs were synthesized and sequenced. s1 dsRNA has 688 bp...
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 کاملSemiconservative synthesis of single-stranded RNA by bacteriophage phi 6 RNA polymerase.
The RNA polymerase in the nucleocapsid of Pseudomonas phaseolicola bacteriophage phi 6 transcribed large, medium, and small single-stranded RNA from the viral double-stranded RNA genome by a semiconservative (displacement) mechanism. Approximately 23%, 63%, and 65% of the nucleocapsid particles in the assay mixture synthesized at least one round of large, medium, and small single-stranded RNA m...
متن کاملReprogramming, Circular Reasoning and Self versus Non-self: One-Stop Shopping with RNA Editing
Transcription of genetic information from archival DNA into RNA molecule working copies is vital for proper cellular function and is highly accurate. In turn, RNAs serve structural, enzymatic, and regulatory roles, as well as being informational templates for the ribosomal translation of proteins. Following RNA synthesis, maturing of RNA molecules occurs through various RNA processing events. O...
