RNA干涉与基因沉默 总被引:28,自引:6,他引:28
双链RNA介导的遗传干涉的机制是1998年发现的,它通过双链RNA的介导特异性地降解相应序列的mRNA,从而导致转录后水平的基因沉默,到目前为止的真菌,拟南芥,线虫,锥虫,水螅,涡虫,果蝇,斑马鱼,小鼠等真核生物中都发现存在这一基因沉默机制,目前的研究表明,RNA干涉与植物中的共抑制(Cosuppression),真菌中的基因压制(quelling)很可能具有共同的基本分子机制,这也说明,很可能在进化的很早期阶段,生物就获得了这种机制,RNA干涉对于抵抗病毒入侵,抑制转座子活动等具有重要作用,对于生物体的发育和基因调控可能也有重要作用。 相似文献

RNA干涉分子机制研究进展 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
RNA干涉(RNA interference,RNAi)是生物体内的一种通过双链RNA(dsRNA)来抵抗病毒入侵和抑制转座子活动的自然机制.双链RNA与同源mRNA互补结合而使特定基因失活,这一过程已经在包括拟南芥、线虫和真菌等多种模式生物中得到揭示.近来研究表明,21~25 nt的小干涉RNA(small interference RNA, siRNA)可介导哺乳动物细胞特异性基因沉默.RNAi具有高效性和高度特异性,可能成为关闭基因的新技术而在基因功能研究和疾病基因治疗中发挥重要作用. 相似文献

RNA干涉及其应用前景 总被引:5,自引:7,他引:5
RNA干涉是指由特定双链RNA(dsRNA)引起的转录后基因沉默现象。研究表明,Dicer断裂dsRNA产生的小干涉RNA可以抑制哺乳动物体细胞和胚胎中的基因的表达。RdRP在扩增RNAi中起着关键性的作用,RdRP活性复制较长的触发性dsRNA或以一种非引物的方式复制短的siRNA,即以siRNA为引物的RdRP反应使靶mRNA转变为dsRNA,同时复制触发性dsRNA。所有的产物又可作为Dicer的底物,起始RdRP级联反应。本文综述了RNAi可能的作用机制,并对RNAi在分析功能基因组、药物治疗等方面的应用前景进行了展望。 相似文献

Selective protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays an essential role in many major cellular processes, including host-pathogen interactions. We previously reported that the tightly regulated viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of the positive-strand RNA virus Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is degraded by the UPS in infected cells, a process that affects viral infectivity. Here, we show that the TYMV 98K replication protein can counteract this degradation process thanks to its proteinase domain. In-vitro assays revealed that the recombinant proteinase domain is a functional ovarian tumour (OTU)-like deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB), as is the 98K produced during viral infection. We also demonstrate that 98K mediates in-vivo deubiquitylation of TYMV RdRp protein--its binding partner within replication complexes--leading to its stabilization. Finally, we show that this DUB activity contributes to viral infectivity in plant cells. The identification of viral RdRp as a specific substrate of the viral DUB enzyme thus reveals the intricate interplay between ubiquitylation, deubiquitylation and the interaction between viral proteins in controlling levels of RdRp and viral infectivity. 相似文献

The “RNA World” hypothesis suggests that life developed from RNA enzymes termed ribozymes, which carry out reactions without assistance from proteins. Ribonuclease (RNase) P is one ribozyme that appears to have adapted these origins to modern cellular life by adding protein to the RNA core in order to broaden the potential functions. This RNA‐protein complex plays diverse roles in processing RNA, but its best‐understood reaction is pre‐tRNA maturation, resulting in mature 5' ends of tRNAs. The core catalytic activity resides in the RNA subunit of almost all RNase P enzymes but broader substrate tolerance is required for recognizing not only the diverse sequences of tRNAs, but also additional cellular RNA substrates. This broader substrate tolerance is provided by the addition of protein to the RNA core and allows RNase P to selectively recognize different RNAs, and possibly ribonucleoprotein (RNP) substrates. Thus, increased protein content correlated with evolution from bacteria to eukaryotes has further enhanced substrate potential enabling the enzyme to function in a complex cellular environment. J.

Substitutional RNA editing plays a crucial role in the regulation of biological processes. Cleavage of target RNA that depends on the specific site of substitutional RNA editing is a useful tool for analyzing and regulating intracellular processes related to RNA editing. Hammerhead ribozymes have been utilized as small catalytic RNAs for cleaving target RNA at a specific site and may be used for RNA-editing-specific RNA cleavage. Here we reveal a design strategy for a hammerhead ribozyme that specifically recognizes adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) and cytosine to uracil (C-to-U) substitutional RNA-editing sites and cleaves target RNA. Because the hammerhead ribozyme cleaves one base upstream of the target-editing site, the base that pairs with the target-editing site was utilized for recognition. RNA-editing-specific ribozymes were designed such that the recognition base paired only with the edited base. These ribozymes showed A-to-I and C-to-U editing-specific cleavage activity against synthetic serotonin receptor 2C and apolipoprotein B mRNA fragments in vitro, respectively. Additionally, the ribozyme designed for recognizing A-to-I RNA editing at the Q/R site on filamin A (FLNA) showed editing-specific cleavage activity against physiologically edited FLNA mRNA extracted from cells. We demonstrated that our strategy is effective for cleaving target RNA in an editing-dependent manner. The data in this study provided an experimental basis for the RNA-editing-dependent degradation of specific target RNA in vivo. 相似文献

反义RNA及其在植物学研究中的应用 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
反义RNA最初发现于细菌中,它们是一些较短的、散布的转录产物[1],本身缺乏编码能力,但可以通过碱基配对的方式与靶RNA的特定互补区域结合,从而阻抑基因的正常表达,因此,反义RNA是高度特异性的基因表达抑制因子。1 自然界中存在的反义RNA参与基因表达调控的反义RNA是在原核生物中发现的。一些实验结果表明,在质粒的复制、转座子的转座作用及噬菌体的发育进程中,反义RNA的调控起着至关重要的作用。ColE1以及其他相关质粒的复制过程中,DNA的延伸起始于一种特殊引物的形成。而这一引物所在的区段,亦可产生与引物本身5… 相似文献

特异的中草药配糖体苷酶微生物及其发酵与酶学特性 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
配糖体是中草药主要有效成分之一。但是中草药成分并不是活性最佳结构,中草药口服后其成分在消化系统酶和微生物的作用下,转化为另一种结构吸收、起药效;但是体内的这种转化甚微,往往受到人的个体条件的影响。如果这种体内的转化反应在体外实现,中草药成分酶转化为高活性成分,将对创新药、中医药、公众营养食品和保健食品、功能化妆品等意义很大。为此,以下主要介绍本实验室研究过的中草药配糖体苷酶新微生物筛选、分类鉴定,特异的中草药配糖体苷酶的发酵产酶和其酶学特性。 相似文献

The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has become one of the most important online references in the world and has a substantial and growing scientific content. A search of Google with many RNA-related keywords identifies a Wikipedia article as the top hit. We believe that the RNA community has an important and timely opportunity to maximize the content and quality of RNA information in Wikipedia. To this end, we have formed the RNA WikiProject (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_RNA) as part of the larger Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject. We have created over 600 new Wikipedia articles describing families of noncoding RNAs based on the Rfam database, and invite the community to update, edit, and correct these articles. The Rfam database now redistributes this Wikipedia content as the primary textual annotation of its RNA families. Users can, therefore, for the first time, directly edit the content of one of the major RNA databases. We believe that this Wikipedia/Rfam link acts as a functioning model for incorporating community annotation into molecular biology databases. 相似文献
