    A microRNA in a multiple-turnover RNAi enzyme complex (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-08-03
    Description: In animals, the double-stranded RNA-specific endonuclease Dicer produces two classes of functionally distinct, tiny RNAs: microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). miRNAs regulate mRNA translation, whereas siRNAs direct RNA destruction via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Here we show that, in human cell extracts, the miRNA let-7 naturally enters the RNAi pathway, which suggests that only the degree of complementarity between a miRNA and its RNA target determines its function. Human let-7 is a component of a previously identified, miRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein particle, which we show is an RNAi enzyme complex. Each let-7-containing complex directs multiple rounds of RNA cleavage, which explains the remarkable efficiency of the RNAi pathway in human cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hutvagner, Gyorgy -- Zamore, Phillip D -- GM62862-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Sep 20;297(5589):2056-60.

    Endogenous siRNAs derived from transposons and mRNAs in Drosophila somatic cells (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-04-12
    Description: Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) direct RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. In flies, somatic cells produce siRNAs from exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a defense against viral infection. We identified endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs), 21 nucleotides in length, that correspond to transposons and heterochromatic sequences in the somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster. We also detected endo-siRNAs complementary to messenger RNAs (mRNAs); these siRNAs disproportionately mapped to the complementary regions of overlapping mRNAs predicted to form double-stranded RNA in vivo. Normal accumulation of somatic endo-siRNAs requires the siRNA-generating ribonuclease Dicer-2 and the RNAi effector protein Argonaute2 (Ago2). We propose that endo-siRNAs generated by the fly RNAi pathway silence selfish genetic elements in the soma, much as Piwi-interacting RNAs do in the germ line.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2953241/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2953241/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ghildiyal, Megha -- Seitz, Herve -- Horwich, Michael D -- Li, Chengjian -- Du, Tingting -- Lee, Soohyun -- Xu, Jia -- Kittler, Ellen L W -- Zapp, Maria L -- Weng, Zhiping -- Zamore, Phillip D -- F30 AG030283-02/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F30 AG030283-03/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F30 AG030283-04/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- F30AG030283/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- GM080625/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM62862/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM65236/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HG003367/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P30 AI042845/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 AI042845-119008/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI043208/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI043208-08/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062862/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062862-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062862-09/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065236/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065236-07/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065236-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080625/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080625-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080625-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003367/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG003367-03/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM062862/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM062862-11/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 May 23;320(5879):1077-81. doi: 10.1126/science.1157396.
