    A Drosophila mechanosensory transduction channel (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-04-01
    Description: Mechanosensory transduction underlies a wide range of senses, including proprioception, touch, balance, and hearing. The pivotal element of these senses is a mechanically gated ion channel that transduces sound, pressure, or movement into changes in excitability of specialized sensory cells. Despite the prevalence of mechanosensory systems, little is known about the molecular nature of the transduction channels. To identify such a channel, we analyzed Drosophila melanogaster mechanoreceptive mutants for defects in mechanosensory physiology. Loss-of-function mutations in the no mechanoreceptor potential C (nompC) gene virtually abolished mechanosensory signaling. nompC encodes a new ion channel that is essential for mechanosensory transduction. As expected for a transduction channel, D. melanogaster NOMPC and a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog were selectively expressed in mechanosensory organs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walker, R G -- Willingham, A T -- Zuker, C S -- 5T32GM08107/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 24;287(5461):2229-34.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Diego,CA 92093-0649, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10744543" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    RNA maps reveal new RNA classes and a possible function for pervasive transcription (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-05-19
    Description: Significant fractions of eukaryotic genomes give rise to RNA, much of which is unannotated and has reduced protein-coding potential. The genomic origins and the associations of human nuclear and cytosolic polyadenylated RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides (nt) and whole-cell RNAs less than 200 nt were investigated in this genome-wide study. Subcellular addresses for nucleotides present in detected RNAs were assigned, and their potential processing into short RNAs was investigated. Taken together, these observations suggest a novel role for some unannotated RNAs as primary transcripts for the production of short RNAs. Three potentially functional classes of RNAs have been identified, two of which are syntenically conserved and correlate with the expression state of protein-coding genes. These data support a highly interleaved organization of the human transcriptome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kapranov, Philipp -- Cheng, Jill -- Dike, Sujit -- Nix, David A -- Duttagupta, Radharani -- Willingham, Aarron T -- Stadler, Peter F -- Hertel, Jana -- Hackermuller, Jorg -- Hofacker, Ivo L -- Bell, Ian -- Cheung, Evelyn -- Drenkow, Jorg -- Dumais, Erica -- Patel, Sandeep -- Helt, Gregg -- Ganesh, Madhavan -- Ghosh, Srinka -- Piccolboni, Antonio -- Sementchenko, Victor -- Tammana, Hari -- Gingeras, Thomas R -- N01-CO-12400/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG003147/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jun 8;316(5830):1484-8.

    A strategy for probing the function of noncoding RNAs finds a repressor of NFAT (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-09-06
    Description: Noncoding RNA molecules (ncRNAs) have been implicated in numerous biological processes including transcriptional regulation and the modulation of protein function. Yet, in spite of the apparent abundance of ncRNA, little is known about the biological role of the projected thousands of ncRNA genes present in the human genome. To facilitate functional analysis of these RNAs, we have created an arrayed library of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) directed against 512 evolutionarily conserved putative ncRNAs and, via cell-based assays, we have begun to determine their roles in cellular pathways. Using this system, we have identified an ncRNA repressor of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), which interacts with multiple proteins including members of the importin-beta superfamily and likely functions as a specific regulator of NFAT nuclear trafficking.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Willingham, A T -- Orth, A P -- Batalov, S -- Peters, E C -- Wen, B G -- Aza-Blanc, P -- Hogenesch, J B -- Schultz, P G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Sep 2;309(5740):1570-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16141075" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    mRNA knockdown by single strand RNA is improved by chemical modifications (2012)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-13
    Description: While RNAi has traditionally relied on RNA duplexes, early evaluation of siRNAs demonstrated activity of the guide strand in the absence of the passenger strand. However, these single strands lacked the activity of duplex RNAs. Here, we report the systematic use of chemical modifications to optimize single-strand RNA (ssRNA)-mediated mRNA knockdown. We identify that 2'F ribose modifications coupled with 5'-end phosphorylation vastly improves ssRNA activity both in vitro and in vivo . The impact of specific chemical modifications on ssRNA activity implies an Ago-mediated mechanism but the hallmark mRNA cleavage sites were not observed which suggests ssRNA may operate through a mechanism beyond conventional Ago2 slicer activity. While currently less potent than duplex siRNAs, with additional chemical optimization and alternative routes of delivery, chemically modified ssRNAs could represent a powerful RNAi platform.
