In this issue, Sabin et al. (2009) and Gruber et al. (2009) reveal the protein Ars2 as a versatile regulator of RNA silencing. They show that Ars2 stimulates microRNA processing, contributes to antiviral resistance in flies, and is important for cell proliferation in mammals.
在本期杂志中,萨宾等人(2009年)和格鲁伯等人(2009年)揭示了蛋白质Ars2是RNA沉默的一种多功能调节因子。他们表明,Ars2刺激微小RNA的加工,有助于果蝇的抗病毒抗性,并且对哺乳动物的细胞增殖很重要。
