  1. Mechanisms of piRNA-guided co-transcriptional gene silencing

    … depends on the Panx-induced co-transcriptional silencing (PICTS) complex, which contains Panx, Nxf2 and Nxt1. PICTS operates at the interface between piRNA-guided Piwi and heterochromatin effectors. While the N-terminal region of Panx is known to deliver the transcriptional silencing signal, the …

    This thesis presents the use of Virus Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) for the discovery of enzymes and transporters involved in monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) metabolism in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. C. roseus is the source of a number of MIAs that are used as chemotherapeutic agents …

In Drosophila melanogaster ovaries, piRNA-Piwi complexes localise to the nucleus and scan nascent transcripts for transposon expression by using complementary antisense piRNAs as guides. Following target engagement, …

  7. Sex in Cryptococcus: Signaling, Mating-type Locus Evolution and Gene Silencing

    <p>Fungi have a genetically controlled sex determination system, which is governed by a small, sex-specific region in the genome called the mating-type locus (MAT). In the basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, the pathogen that causes cryptococcal meningitis and cryptococcosis, sex has …

  8. The role of RNAi genes in Neurospora crassa post-transcriptional gene silencing

    Meiotic silencing was first identified in the bread mold Neurospora crassa (by our group and others) and has since been discovered in worms, mice, and humans. Neurospora is an excellent model organism in that it is inexpensive, has a relatively small number of genes, and a rapid life cycle with two …

The trypanosome genome contains ~2,000 VSG genes, however only a single VSG gene is transcribed with several expression site associated genes (ESAGs) in a polycistronic transcription unit by RNA-polymerase I, from one of approximately 15 telomeric VSG expression site (VSG-ES). This produces …

  11. Exploring the specificity and mechanisms of siRNA-mediated gene silencing in mammalian cells

    … RNAs (siRNAs) are routinely used to knockdown gene expression. siRNAs bind to their target sequence and guide transcript cleavage and subsequent degradation. This type of silencing is associated with equivalent levels of RNA and protein knockdown. siRNA-mediated knockdown was originally thought …

    RNA interference (RNAi) is a small-RNA-mediated gene-silencing pathway that is involved in viral defense, transposon silencing, heterochromatin formation, and post-transcriptional gene silencing. Most RNAi pathways are initiated by long, dsRNA which is processed by Dicer into small interfering RNAs …
