RNA Interference01:23

RNA Interference

28.2K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.2K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.7K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

98.9K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

60.8K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs02:30

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs

18.8K
Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...

Resumen
Este resumen es generado por máquina.

Drosophila Dicer-2 utiliza su dominio helicasa para unirse a los terminales de ARN de doble cadena contundente (dsRNA), un mecanismo previamente desconocido para la defensa antiviral. Este proceso de desenrollamiento y enhebrado optimiza la escisión del dsRNA para una inmunidad efectiva.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología molecular
  • Virología
  • Biología estructural

Sus antecedentes:

  • Los invertebrados utilizan enzimas Dicer para procesar el ARN viral de doble cadena (dsRNA).
  • Drosophila Dicer-2 exhibe discriminación de sustratos basada en los terminales de dsRNA, lo que influye en los patrones de escisión (procesivos frente a distributivos).
  • Anteriormente se pensaba que los dominios Plataforma-PAZ eran los únicos sitios de unión de terminales de dsRNA en Dicer.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para aclarar la base estructural de la discriminación de Drosophila Dicer-2 entre los terminales de dsRNA.
  • Investigar el papel de diferentes dominios de Dicer en la unión y escisión de sustratos de ARNd.
  • Para descubrir nuevos mecanismos en las vías de defensa antiviral.

Principales métodos:

  • Para determinar las estructuras de alta resolución se empleó la criomicroscopia electrónica (Cryo-EM).
  • Se resolvieron las estructuras de Drosophila Dicer-2 solo y en complejo con dsRNA contundente.
  • Se utilizaron ensayos bioquímicos para evaluar el desenrollamiento dependiente del trifosfato de adenosina (ATP).

Principales resultados:

  • El dominio helicasa, no implicado previamente en la unión térmica, es esencial para la unión del dsRNA contundente.
  • El dsRNA contundente se desenrolla localmente y se enrosca a través del dominio de la helicasa de una manera dependiente del ATP.
  • Los terminales de 3 'sobresalientes del dsRNA no activan el dominio de la helicasa para la unión.

Conclusiones:

  • Se ha descubierto un nuevo mecanismo que involucra el dominio helicasa en el reconocimiento y procesamiento de los terminales de dsRNA por parte de Dicer-2.
  • Este hallazgo revela una nueva capa de regulación en la inmunidad innata antiviral.
  • El estudio abre caminos para explorar las funciones dependientes de la helicasa en otros ortólogos Dicer y enzimas relacionadas.
