Gene Information

human ... DICER1(23405)

General description

RNA interference (RNAi) is mechanism for post-transcriptional gene silencing that leads to the loss of the activity of the gene. RNAi is activated when long dsRNAs are cleaved by the enzyme Dicer1 (RNase III family of dsRNA-specific endonucleases) into 21-23 nucleotide siRNA (small interfering RNA). These siRNAs bind proteins to form the RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) which is activated when the double stranded siRNAs are unzipped to single stranded siRNAs. Activated RISC recognizes and binds complementary sequences in mRNA. The mRNA is cleaved and the overall effect is an inhibition of the protein expression and a loss of the gene activity. Dicer1 along with the Argonaute family of proteins (Ago1 and Ago2) share the same domain PIWI and PAZ domain that provide endonuclease activity to RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC).

It is generally believed that RNA virus replicating in the cell cytoplasm would not encode microRNAs (miRNAs) due to nucleus inaccessibility. Recent studies have described cytoplasmic RNA virus genome-derived miRNAs in West Nile virus (WNV) and Dengue virus (DENV). However

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), including host miRNAs and viral miRNAs, play vital roles in regulating host-virus interactions. DNA viruses encode miRNAs that regulate the viral life cycle. However, it is generally believed that cytoplasmic RNA viruses do not encode miRNAs, owing to

Tumor microenvironment play role in angiogenesis and carcinogenesis. Etoposide, a known topoisomerase II inhibitor induces DNA damage resulting in cell cycle arrest. We developed a novel Etoposide analogue, Quinazolino-4β-amidopodophyllotoxin (C-10) that show better efficacy in regulating cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
