    Description: Transient populations of cis- and trans-acting small RNAs have recently emerged as key regulators of extensive epigenetic changes taking place during periconception, which encompasses gametogenesis, fertilization, and early zygotic development. These small RNAs are not only important to maintain genome integrity in the gametes and zygote, but they also actively contribute to assessing the compatibility of parental genomes at fertilization and to promoting long-term memory of the zygotic epigenetic landscape by affecting chromatin. Striking parallels exist in the biogenesis and modus operandi of these molecules among diverse taxa, unraveling universal themes of small-RNA-mediated epigenetic reprogramming during sexual reproduction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bourc'his, Deborah -- Voinnet, Olivier -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Oct 29;330(6004):617-22. doi: 10.1126/science.1194776.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut Curie, CNRS UMR 3215, INSERM U934, 75248 Paris cedex 05, France.

    Description: In the plant RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, 21-nucleotide duplexes of small interfering RNA (siRNA) are processed from longer double-stranded RNA precursors by the RNaseIII Dicer-like 4 (DCL4). Single-stranded siRNAs then guide Argonaute 1 (AGO1) to execute posttranscriptional silencing of complementary target RNAs. RNAi is not cell-autonomous in higher plants, but the nature of the mobile nucleic acid(s) signal remains unknown. Using cell-specific rescue of DCL4 function and cell-specific inhibition of RNAi movement, we genetically establish that exogenous and endogenous siRNAs, as opposed to their precursor molecules, act as mobile silencing signals between plant cells. We further demonstrate physical movement of mechanically delivered, labeled siRNA duplexes that functionally recapitulate transgenic RNAi spread. Cell-to-cell movement is unlikely to involve AGO1-bound siRNA single strands, but instead likely involves siRNA duplexes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dunoyer, Patrice -- Schott, Gregory -- Himber, Christophe -- Meyer, Denise -- Takeda, Atsushi -- Carrington, James C -- Voinnet, Olivier -- AI43288/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI043288/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI043288-14/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 May 14;328(5980):912-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1185880.

    Description: High complementarity between plant microRNAs (miRNAs) and their messenger RNA targets is thought to cause silencing, prevalently by endonucleolytic cleavage. We have isolated Arabidopsis mutants defective in miRNA action. Their analysis provides evidence that plant miRNA-guided silencing has a widespread translational inhibitory component that is genetically separable from endonucleolytic cleavage. We further show that the same is true of silencing mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) populations. Translational repression is effected in part by the ARGONAUTE proteins AGO1 and AGO10. It also requires the activity of the microtubule-severing enzyme katanin, implicating cytoskeleton dynamics in miRNA action, as recently suggested from animal studies. Also as in animals, the decapping component VARICOSE (VCS)/Ge-1 is required for translational repression by miRNAs, which suggests that the underlying mechanisms in the two kingdoms are related.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brodersen, Peter -- Sakvarelidze-Achard, Lali -- Bruun-Rasmussen, Marianne -- Dunoyer, Patrice -- Yamamoto, Yoshiharu Y -- Sieburth, Leslie -- Voinnet, Olivier -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 May 30;320(5880):1185-90. doi: 10.1126/science.1159151.
