In plants and invertebrates, small silencing RNAs function in antiviral defense and developmental patterning through pathways that were so far considered genetically distinct. In a recent issue of Cell, Sabin and colleagues report the identification of Drosophila Ars2, a protein required for both these small RNA-mediated functions.
在植物和无脊椎动物中,小干扰RNA通过迄今为止被认为在基因上不同的途径,在抗病毒防御和发育模式形成中发挥作用。在最近一期的《细胞》杂志上,萨宾及其同事报告了果蝇Ars2的鉴定,Ars2是这两种小RNA介导功能所必需的一种蛋白质。
