High impact information on Gene Silencing

  • In plants, animals, and fungi, members of the Dicer family of RNase III-related enzymes process double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to initiate small-RNA-mediated gene-silencing mechanisms [7].
  • We demonstrate that both a subtelomeric transgene and var genes are subject to reversible gene silencing [8].
  • von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene inactivation occurs in von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease [9].
  • Recent insights into gene silencing mechanisms by Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) proteins reveal that the memory system involves a concerted process of chromatin modification, blocking of RNA polymerase II, and synthesis of noncoding RNA [10].
  • The NAD-dependent histone deacetylation of Sir2 connects cellular metabolism with gene silencing as well as aging in yeast [11].
