RNA沉默与植物病毒 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
植物中RNA沉默(RNAsilencing)亦称为转录后基因沉默(PTGS)或共抑制,是植物抵抗外来核酸(转座子、转基因或病毒)入侵,并保护自身基因组完整性的一种防御机制。RNA沉默是近十年来发现的植物界中普遍存在的现象,已成为植物分子生物学领域的一个新的研究方向。对RNA沉默特点和机制的研究表明,植物病毒与(转基因)植物内发生的RNA沉默有着密切的联系,作者从病毒对RNA沉默的诱导、抑制、防御等方面,简述了RNA沉默与病毒的关系。并对病毒载体所诱导的RNA沉默在植物发育和基因组功能分析等方面的应用价值进行了讨论。 相似文献

病毒诱导的基因沉默及其在植物基因功能研究中的应用 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
RNA介导的基因沉默是近年来在生物体中发现的一种基于核酸水平高度保守的特异性降解机制.病毒诱导的基因沉默(virus induced gene silencing, VIGS)是指携带植物功能基因cDNA的病毒在侵染植物体后,可诱导植物发生基因沉默而出现表型突变,进而可以研究该目的基因功能.至今,已经建立了以RNA病毒、DNA病毒、卫星病毒和DNA卫星分子为载体的VIGS体系,这些病毒载体能在多种寄主植物(包括拟南芥、番茄和大麦)上有效抑制功能基因的表达.VIGS已开始应用于N基因和Pto基因介导的抗性信号途径中关键基因的功能研究、抗病毒相关的寄主因子研究以及植物代谢和发育调控研究.在当前植物基因组或EST序列大量测定的情况下,VIGS为植物基因功能鉴定提供了有效的技术平台. 相似文献

RNA沉默(RNA silencing)是真核生物中的一种抵抗外源遗传因子(病毒、转座子或转基因)及调控基凶表达的防御机制。参与植物RNA沉默的酶及蛋白质主要包括6种RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶、4种Dicer-like(DCL)核酸内切酶和10种Argonautes蛋白。植物中4条RNA沉默途径分别由微小RNA(miRNAs)和3种小干扰RNA(siRNAs)介导,包括反式作用siRNAs(ta-siRNAs)、天然反义siRNAs(natsiRNAs)和异染色质siRNAs(hc-siRNAs)。在植物RNA沉默的系统性传播中,由DCL4或DCL2将dsRNAs裁剪为次级SiRNAS,以放大RNA沉默信号和增强沉默效应。 相似文献

Post-transcriptional gene silencing in plants by RNA 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Multicellular organisms, like higher plants, need to coordinate their growth and development and to cope with environmental cues. To achieve this, various signal molecules are transported between neighboring cells and distant organs to control the fate of the recipient cells and organs. RNA silencing produces cell non-autonomous signal molecules that can move over short or long distances leading to the sequence specific silencing of a target gene in a well defined area of cells or throughout the entire plant,respectively. The nature of these signal molecules, the route of silencing spread, and the genes involved in their production, movement and reception are discussed in this review. Additionally, a short section on features of silencing spread in animal models is presented at the end of this review. 相似文献

RNA interference (RNAi) was quantitatively evaluated from a kinetic viewpoint. A simple kinetic evaluation based on moment analysis was proposed, assuming suppression and recovery phases of gene expression. We defined the area under the curve of the inhibitory effect (AUC(IE)) as an index of the total intensity of RNAi and the mean response time of the inhibitory effect (MRT(IE)) as an index of its duration. The proposed kinetic analysis helps to understand the RNAi effect in a quantitative and time-dependent manner, which will be beneficial for designing RNAi-based gene silencing for both experimental and therapeutic purposes. 相似文献

The large number of candidate genes identified by modern high-throughput technologies require efficient methods for generating knockout phenotypes or gene silencing in order to study gene function. RNA interference (RNAi) is an efficient method that can be used for this purpose. Effective gene silencing by RNAi depends on a number of important parameters, including the dynamics of gene expression and the RNA dose. Using mouse hepatoma cells, we detail some of the principal characteristics of RNAi as a tool for gene silencing, such as the RNA dose level, RNA complex exposure time, and the time of transfection relative to gene induction, in the context of silencing a green fluorescent protein reporter gene. Our experiments demonstrate that different levels of silencing can be attained by modulating the dose level of RNA and the time of transfection and illustrate the importance of a dynamic analysis in designing robust silencing protocols. By quantifying the kinetics of RNAi-based gene silencing, we present a model that may be used to help determine key parameters in more complex silencing experiments and explore alternative gene silencing protocols. 相似文献

In plants, transgenes with inverted repeats are used to induce efficient RNA silencing, which is also frequently induced by highly transcribed sense transgenes. RNA silencing induced by sense transgenes is dependent on RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6), which converts single-stranded (ss) RNA into double-stranded (ds) RNA. By contrast, it has been proposed that RNA silencing induced by self-complementary hairpin RNA (hpRNA) does not require RDR6, because the hpRNA can directly fold back on itself to form dsRNA. However, it is unclear whether RDR6 plays a role in hpRNA-induced RNA silencing by amplifying dsRNA to spread RNA silencing within the plant. To address the efficiency of hpRNA-induced RNA silencing in the presence or absence of RDR6, Wild type (WT, Col-0) and rdr6-11 Arabidopsis thaliana lines expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) were generated and transformed with a GFP-RNA interference (RNAi) construct. Whereas most GFP-RNAi-transformed WT lines exhibited almost complete silencing of GFP expression in the T1 generation, various levels of GFP expression remained among the GFP-RNAi-transformed rdr6-11 lines. Homozygous expression of GFP-RNAi in the T3 generation was not sufficient to induce complete GFP silencing in several rdr6-11 lines. Our results indicate that RDR6 is required for efficient hpRNA-induced RNA silencing in plants. 相似文献

Higher eukaryotes have developed a mechanism of sequence-specific RNA degradation which is known as RNA silencing. In plants and some animals, similar to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, RNA silencing is a non-cell-autonomous event. Hence, silencing initiation in one or a few cells leads progressively to the sequence-specific suppression of homologous sequences in neighbouring cells in an RNA-mediated fashion. Spreading of silencing in plants occurs through plasmodesmata and results from a cell-to-cell movement of a short-range silencing signal, most probably 21-nt siRNAs (short interfering RNAs) that are produced by one of the plant Dicer enzymes. In addition, silencing spreads systemically through the phloem system of the plants, which also translocates metabolites from source to sink tissues. Unlike the short-range silencing signal, there is little known about the mediators of systemic silencing. Recent studies have revealed various and sometimes surprising genetic elements of the short-range silencing spread pathway, elucidating several aspects of the processes involved. In this review we attempt to clarify commonalities and differences between the individual silencing pathways of RNA silencing spread in plants. 相似文献
