    A cellular function for the RNA-interference enzyme Dicer in the maturation of the let-7 small temporal RNA (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-07-14
    Description: The 21-nucleotide small temporal RNA (stRNA) let-7 regulates developmental timing in Caenorhabditis elegans and probably in other bilateral animals. We present in vivo and in vitro evidence that in Drosophila melanogaster a developmentally regulated precursor RNA is cleaved by an RNA interference-like mechanism to produce mature let-7 stRNA. Targeted destruction in cultured human cells of the messenger RNA encoding the enzyme Dicer, which acts in the RNA interference pathway, leads to accumulation of the let-7 precursor. Thus, the RNA interference and stRNA pathways intersect. Both pathways require the RNA-processing enzyme Dicer to produce the active small-RNA component that represses gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hutvagner, G -- McLachlan, J -- Pasquinelli, A E -- Balint, E -- Tuschl, T -- Zamore, P D -- GM62862-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Aug 3;293(5531):834-8.

    A protein sensor for siRNA asymmetry (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-11-20
    Description: To act as guides in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) must be unwound into their component strands, then assembled with proteins to form the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which catalyzes target messenger RNA cleavage. Thermodynamic differences in the base-pairing stabilities of the 5' ends of the two approximately 21-nucleotide siRNA strands determine which siRNA strand is assembled into the RISC. We show that in Drosophila, the orientation of the Dicer-2/R2D2 protein heterodimer on the siRNA duplex determines which siRNA strand associates with the core RISC protein Argonaute 2. R2D2 binds the siRNA end with the greatest double-stranded character, thereby orienting the heterodimer on the siRNA duplex. Strong R2D2 binding requires a 5'-phosphate on the siRNA strand that is excluded from the RISC. Thus, R2D2 is both a protein sensor for siRNA thermodynamic asymmetry and a licensing factor for entry of authentic siRNAs into the RNAi pathway.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tomari, Yukihide -- Matranga, Christian -- Haley, Benjamin -- Martinez, Natalia -- Zamore, Phillip D -- GM62862-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM65236-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 19;306(5700):1377-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15550672" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
