One defense against viral infection is provided by PKR, double-stranded RNA activated protein kinase. When PKR interacts with dsRNA found in cells during viral infection, PKR phosphorylates itself and cellular proteins including the translation factor elF2a and the transcription factor NF-kB. The repression of translation caused by phosphorylation of elF2a prevents cells from producing viral proteins and creating inf......閱讀全文
2.3 倍增階段 siRNA在RNA依賴性RNA聚合酶(RdRP)的作用下,以mRNA為模板,siRNA為引物,擴增產生足夠數量的dsRNA作為底物提供給Dicer酶,產生更多的siRNA, 可再次形成RISC,并繼續降解mRNA,從而產生級聯放大效應
早期的 RNAi 技術可用在研究與胚胎發育相關基因的功能上,但是由于細胞分裂造成 dsRNA 的稀釋,使得這種方法在研究成體的基因功能時有一定的局限性。為彌補早期 RNAi 技術的不足,Tavernarakis 等將 RNAi 技術做了一些改進及更動,將目的基因之標的序列以反向重復的方式,由

RNAi是Napoli CD等在試圖向紫色矮牽牛花轉導色素合成基因,用以增加其花色時發現的。結果出乎預料,轉基因的植株不僅沒有新基因的表達,反而自身的色素合成也減弱了,一些轉基因的花出現了全白色或部分白色。他們把這種導入的基因未表達和植物本身合成色素基因的失活現象命名為共抑制(cosupp
