Gene Silencing Model Eukaryotic Cell
Gene Silencing Model Unloaded dicers
Gene Silencing Model BUT - If ds RNA enters cell Unloaded dicers ignore ss RNA
Gene Silencing Model Dicers recognise ds RNA
Gene Silencing Model Dicers cleave ds RNA into 21 nt fragments
Gene Silencing Model Loaded dicers transfer one 21 nt fragment to each RISC complex
Gene Silencing Model Loaded dicers transfer one 21 nt fragment to each RISC complex
Gene Silencing Model RISC complexes cleave ss RNA RISC complexes recognise complementary ss RNA
Gene Silencing Model RNA destroyed and gene silenced!
