3 Introduction: The Central Dogma
4 In the early 1990s A number of scientists observed independently that RNA inhibited protein expression in plants and fungi. This phenomenon, identified but not understood. Posttranscriptional gene silencing PTGS or co-suppression in plant (Napoli et al., 1990; Campbell, 2005) Quelling in fungi (Romano and Macino in 1992) Neurospora crassa RNA interference (RNAi) in nematodes (Fire et al 1991) C. elegans Animal
5 Gene silencing in Cenorhabditis elegans dsrna can cause a systemic RNA-interference. RNAi lead to partial or complete loss-of-function of specific genes. Could be used to determine the biological roles of certain genes. If targets important gene could lead to mortality!!!
6 Definition RNAi (RNAi) is a mechanism that inhibits gene expression at the stage of translation of specific gene.
7 Role of RNAi in nature Gene regulations Genome maintenance Development Defense mechanism Viral infection Transposable elements. RNAi overview During RNAi Double-stranded RNAs cut into short doublestranded RNAs, s(small) i(interfering) RNA's, by an enzyme called Dicer. These then base pair to an mrna through a dsrnaenzyme complex. This will either lead to degradation of the mrna strand Highly specific process Very potent activity So far only been seen in eukaryotes Evidence 30% of genome is regulated by RNAi
8 Gene regulations RNAi acts to regulate gene expression by two dicerdependent mechanisms sirna (small interfering) mirna (microrna)
9 The Players In Interference RNA sirna: dsrna nt. mirna: ssrna 19-25nt. Encoded by non protein coding genome RISC: RNA induced Silencing Complex, that cleaves mrna Enzymes Dicer : produces nt cleavages that initiate RNAi Drosha : cleaves base hairpin in to form pre mirna; which is later processed by Dicer
10 sirnas Small interfering RNAs that have an integral role in the phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi), a form of posttranscriptional gene silencing mirna RNAi: nt fragments, which bind to the complementary portion of the target mrna and tag it for degradation A single base pair difference between the sirna template and the target mrna is enough to block the process. Originate from capped & polyadenylated full length precursors (pri-mirna) Hairpin precursor ~70 nt (pre-mirna) Mature mirna ~22 nt (mirna) Each strand of sirna has: a. 5 -phosphate termini b. 3 -hydroxyl termini c. 2/3-nucleotide 3 overhangs
11 Difference between mirna and sirna Function of both species is regulation of gene expression. Difference is in where they originate. sirna originates with dsrna. sirna is most commonly a response to foreign RNA (usually viral) and is often 100% complementary to the target. mirna originates with ssrna that forms a hairpin secondary structure. mirna regulates post-transcriptional gene expression and is often not 100% complementary to the target. And also mirna help to regulate gene expression, particularly during induction of heterochromatin formation serves to downregulate genes pre- transcriptionally (RNA induced transcriptional silencing or RITS)
12 Defense mechanism Schematic illustration of systemic viral spread as well as RNAi and subsequent viral recovery in plants. Green and red indicate the presence and loss of GFP fluorescence, respectively, and orange denotes the presence of both colors. The red dots on leaves show viral lesions. The bold arrows indicate the stages of plant growth, and the leaves are numbered accordingly. An arrow with a thin line shows a newly emerged leaf recovered from viral attack.
13 Understanding how RNAi works is the key to using it as a genetic tool and for pest control
14 Dicer is required for RNAi fluorescence dsrna wild-type dcr1 -/-

Three-dimensional volume renderings of ACP adults treated with RNAi targeting light and heavy chain myosin showed abnormal development of the wing attachment point compared to control adults. Close up images of the wing attachment (red highlighted area) revealed diaphanous and weakened connections to the wing (blue highlighted area) in adults treated with RNAi targeting light chain myosin, while connections were sunken and malformed in adults treated with RNAi targeting heavy chain myosin

Fully expanded true leaves of N. benthamiana plants were infiltrated with agrobacterium culture of CTV constructs in the binary vector plasmid. After 4-8 weeks post infiltration, systemic leaves of N. benthamiana leaves showing CTV symptoms are harvested. CTV virions are isolated by sucrose cushion gradient ultracentrifugation. Isolated virions are examined under electron microscope. CTV virions are inoculated to Citrus macrophylla plant by bark-flap method.
