RNA silencing requires assembly of an effector complex, RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), composed of a small RNA and the Ago protein. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Liu et al. (2012) provide insights of miRNP/RISC assembly pathways in mammals, using an in vitro human RISC assembly assay programmed by pre-miRNAs.
RNA 干扰需要组装一个效应复合物,即 RNA 诱导的沉默复合物 (RISC),由小 RNA 和 Ago 蛋白组成。在本期《分子细胞》中,刘等人(2012)利用体外人类 RISC 组装测定程序,提供了哺乳动物中 miRNP/RISC 组装途径的见解。
