  • It is proposed that unique inserts of CRISPR, some of which are homologous to fragments of bacteriophage and plasmid genes, function as prokaryotic siRNAs (psiRNA), by base-pairing with the target mRNAs and promoting their degradation or translation shutdown. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Even so, the evidence for an RNA world is strong enough that the hypothesis has gained wide acceptance. (wikipedia.org)
  • The concurrent formation of all four RNA building blocks further strengthened the hypothesis. (wikipedia.org)
  • The phrase "RNA World" was first used by Nobel laureate Walter Gilbert in 1986, in a commentary on how recent observations of the catalytic properties of various forms of RNA fit with this hypothesis. (wikipedia.org)
  • The properties of RNA make the idea of the RNA world hypothesis conceptually plausible, though its general acceptance as an explanation for the origin of life requires further evidence. (wikipedia.org)
  • However, the proximity of CRISPR and cas genes strongly suggests that they have related functions which is hard to reconcile with the repair hypothesis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The association of the cas genes with CRISPR and, especially, the presence, in CRISPR units, of unique inserts homologous to phage and plasmid genes make us abandon this hypothesis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that hypoxia would enhance or "prime" microglial pro-inflammatory gene expression in response to a later inflammatory challenge without programmatically increasing basal levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. (frontiersin.org)
  • Given the important roles of the gut microbiome in regulating host physiology and gene expression, a better understanding of the relationship between the host and the symbiont microbiota should provide new insights into human health and disease risk. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We have successfully deleted the DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 8 (dgcr8) in zebrafish germ line and demonstrated that the maternal-zygotic dgcr8 (MZdgcr8) embryos exhibit MZdicer-like phenotypes with morphological defects which could be rescued by miR-430, indicating that canonical microRNAs play critical role in early development. (zfin.org)
  • Our findings establish that Cre/loxP-mediated tissue-specific gene knockout could be achieved using this BACK strategy and that canonical microRNAs play important roles in early embryonic development in zebrafish. (zfin.org)
  • Among those molecular cues, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a very potent inducer of different reactions at the cellular level that can ultimately lead to cell death. (cnrs.fr)
  • Diet-induced obesity led to altered acetylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27ac) and to altered monomethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me1) at numerous loci, with concomitant changes in the expression of genes that were functionally relevant to intestinal cancers. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Only two mutations were found in isoniazid resistance (INH R ) strain for Rv3919c (T to G in codon 341) and Rv1392 (G to A in codon 97) genes. (ac.ir)
  • 2018-2023-ANR-18-CE43-0010, RIBECO, RNA life cycle engineering for an economic approach to microbial energetics: application to the bioconversion of biomass-derived carbon sources. (toulouse-biotechnology-institute.fr)
  • Since then, CRISPR technology has revolutionized medical research and the biotechnology industry, and its newfound capabilities have scientists asking if CRISPR can be used to modify genes in such a way that would cure or treat certain harmful or life-threatening diseases. (authorea.com)
  • A small RNA is linking CRISPR-Cas and zinc transport. (uni-stuttgart.de)
  • These results suggest that Esr41 plays important roles in the inverse regulation of LEE and flagellar gene expression. (nih.gov)
  • small RNA. (nih.gov)
  • We selected a small RNA (s479) from H. volcanii for detailed characterization. (uni-stuttgart.de)
  • Expanding the RpoS/σS-network by RNA sequencing and identification of σS-controlled small RNAs in Salmonella. (hal.science)
  • He identified periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-staining granules, most likely representing degenerating bacterial forms, within macrophages isolated from the small bowel as well as other tissue and fluid specimens (eg, pericardium, endocardium, lymph nodes, synovia, lung, brain, meninges) obtained from patients in whom Whipple disease was suspected. (medscape.com)
  • We identified novel genes responsible for S. suis resistance to oxidative stress, including those involved in DNA repair or protection, and essential for the biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids. (bvsalud.org)
