In this report, we examined the effect of increased target site access on activated human RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC()) catalysis. Kinetic studies revealed that siRNA-programmed RISC() cleaved target RNA with higher efficiencies when target site access was increased. These results provide evidence that target site access is linked to RISC(*) catalysis.
在本报告中,我们研究了增加靶位点可及性对活化的人RNA诱导沉默复合体(RISC())催化作用的影响。动力学研究表明,当靶位点可及性增加时,由小干扰RNA(siRNA)编程的RISC()能更高效地切割靶RNA。这些结果证明靶位点可及性与RISC(*)催化作用相关。
