RNA沉默(RNA silencing)或者RNA干扰(RNA interference)是由dsRNA(double-stranded RNA)介导的序列特异性降解或者抑制与起始dsRNA一样或者高度相似RNA的一种机制,在进化上存在保守性,具有基因调控、防御外源核苷酸入侵的功能。真菌RNA沉默依据sRNA来源不同,分为多种途径,主要有quelling、qiRNA、MSUD。参与不同途径的主要有Argonaute、Dicer、RdRP3种核心蛋白质,并且在不同真菌中数目变化很大,反映出真菌RNA沉默的多样性。有些真菌的RNA沉默在进化的过程中丢失,在抗病毒机制上进化出"互换"的killer系统。 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Homogeneity of cell populations is a basic requirement for gene expression analyses of the cell cycle, such as those based on microarrays. The most common approach to obtain specific populations is the use of synchronization methods that increase the number of cells representing a certain cell cycle stage. On the one hand, conventional synchronization usually causes undesirable effects. On the other hand, cell separation methods may imply loss of RNA quality, another limiting factor for expression profiling. We describe a new strategy to specifically separate live cells in different phases of the cell cycle (G(1) and G(2)/M) to obtain good quality RNA for gene expression analyses. METHODS: The experimental design included sorting G(1) and G(2)/M cells with the vital fluorochrome Hoechst 33342, followed by RNA isolation from the sorted cells. RESULTS: Sorted living G(1) and G(2)/M cells, analyzed by immunocytochemistry and laser scanning cytometry, showed strong enrichment. The quality and specificity of the isolated RNA were demonstrated by northern blot. CONCLUSIONS: This new approach has many potential applications, such as expression profiling of specific cell populations after eliminating the irrelevant data produced by cells in other stages of the cycle. 相似文献

Antiproliferative effects of steric blocking phosphorodiamidate morpholino antisense agents directed against c-myc 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Hudziak RM Summerton J Weller DD Iversen PL 《Antisense & nucleic acid drug development》2000,10(3):163-176
The phosphorodiamidate Morpholino oligomers (PMO) are a new class of antisense agents that inhibit gene expression by binding to RNA and sterically blocking processing or translation. In a search for a Morpholino agent that would inhibit cell proliferation, it was found that oligomers directed against c-myc, a gene involved in control of the cell cycle, were effective. The sequence specificity and mechanism of action of one agent were determined. The 20-mer 126 lowers c-myc protein levels in treated cells and arrests cells in G0/G1 of the cell cycle. It also acts at the RNA level to inhibit normal pre-mRNA splicing and instead produces an aberrantly spliced mRNA. Irrelevant and mispair control oligomers indicated that the observed antiproliferative effect was sequence specific. This was confirmed in a reporter gene model system using a c-myc 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) fused to a cDNA copy of the insect luciferase gene. We conclude that 126 is acting through an antisense mechanism involving Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding to its target RNA. A specific antisense agent directed against a cell cycle-associated gene mRNA may be useful as a therapeutic in diseases characterized by excess cell proliferation, such as restenosis following balloon angioplasty or cancer. 相似文献

Specific activities of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerases I and II were measured in cells growing under different nutrient conditions and throughout the mitotic cell cycle. The specific activity of RNA polymerase I (possibly the ribosomal polymerase) does not vary during the yeast cell cycle. In contrast the specific activity of RNA polymerase II (messenger polymerase) increases during the first third of the cycle and thereafter declines. The independent regulation of synthesis of these two enzymes is further emphasised by observations on the response to different nutrient conditions. Shifting cells from minimal to rich medium led to enhanced RNA polymerase I activity but very little change in activity of RNA polymerase II. Furthermore the activity of RNA polymerase I varies directly with change in growth rate whereas the activity of RNA polymerase II is approximately constant over a range of growth rates. From this data it is suggested: (i) The synthesis of these two enzymes is independently regulated; (ii) RNA polymerase I is synthesised continuously throughout the cycle whereas RNA polymerase II is synthesised periodically early in the cell cycle. 相似文献
