Anti-DICER1 monoclonal antibody, clone BDN5 (DCABH-6086) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Product Overview Rat monoclonal to Dicer - BSA and Azide free Antigen Description Required for formation of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). Component of the RISC loading complex (RLC), also known as the micro-RNA (miRNA) loading complex (miRLC), which is composed of DICER1, EIF2C2/AGO2 and TARBP2. Within the RLC/miRLC, DICER1 and TARBP2 are required to process precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) to mature miRNAs and then load them onto EIF2C2/AGO2. EIF2C2/AGO2 bound to the mature miRNA constitutes the minimal RISC and may subsequently dissociate from DICER1 and TARBP2. Also cleaves double-stranded RNA to produce short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which target the selective destruction of complementary RNAs. Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to Human Dicer.

Mir-125 in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis
Leukemia (2012) 26, 2011–2018 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0887-6924/12 www.nature.com/leu SPOTLIGHT REVIEW MiR-125 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis L Shaham1,2, V Binder3,4,NGefen1,5, A Borkhardt3 and S Izraeli1,5 MiR-125 is a highly conserved microRNA throughout many different species from nematode to humans. In humans, there are three homologs (hsa-miR-125b-1, hsa-miR-125b-2 and hsa-miR-125a). Here we review a recent research on the role of miR-125 in normal and malignant hematopoietic cells. Its high expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) enhances self-renewal and survival. Its expression in speciﬁc subtypes of myeloid and lymphoid leukemias provides resistance to apoptosis and blocks further differentiation. A direct oncogenic role in the hematopoietic system has recently been demonstrated by several mouse models. Targets of miR-125b include key proteins regulating apoptosis, innate immunity, inﬂammation and hematopoietic differentiation. Leukemia (2012) 26, 2011–2018; doi:10.1038/leu.2012.90 Keywords: microRNA; hematopoiesis; hematological malignancies; acute myeloid leukemia; acute lymphoblastic leukemia MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 21–23-nucleotide non-coding RNAs that nucleotides with the seed region of miR-125b (ebv-miR-BART21-5p, have crucial roles in fundamental biological processes by ebv-miR-BART8 and rlcv-miR-rL1-25). In humans, as in most of the regulating the levels of multiple proteins. They are transcribed genomes, there are two paralogs (hsa-miR-125b-1 on chromosome as primary miRNAs and processed in the nucleus by the RNase III 11 and hsa-miR-125b-2 on chromosome 21), coding for the same endonuclease DROSHA to liberate 70-nucleotide stem loops, the mature sequence.

Relative Contribution of Sequence and Structure Features to the Mrna Binding of Argonaute/ EIF2C–Mirna Complexes and the Degradation of Mirna Targets
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 2, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Letter Relative contribution of sequence and structure features to the mRNA binding of Argonaute/ EIF2C–miRNA complexes and the degradation of miRNA targets Jean Hausser,1,3 Markus Landthaler,2,3,4 Lukasz Jaskiewicz,1 Dimos Gaidatzis,1,5 and Mihaela Zavolan1,6 1Biozentrum, University of Basel and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland; 2Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Laboratory for RNA Biology, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021, USA How miRNAs recognize their target sites is a puzzle that many experimental and computational studies aimed to solve. Several features, such as perfect pairing of the miRNA seed, additional pairing in the 39 region of the miRNA, relative position in the 39 UTR, and the A/Ucontent of the environment of the putative site, have been found to be relevant. Here we have used a large number of previously published data sets to assess the power that various sequence and structure features have in distinguishing between putative sites that do and those that do not appear to be functional. We found that although different data sets give widely different answers when it comes to ranking the relative importance of these features, the sites inferred from most transcriptomics experiments, as well as from comparative genomics, appear similar at this level. This suggests that miRNA target sites have been selected in evolution on their ability to trigger mRNA degradation. To understand at what step in the miRNA-induced response individual features play a role, we transfected human HEK293 cells with miRNAs and analyzed the association of Argonaute/EIF2C–miRNA complexes with target mRNAs and the degradation of these messages.

Dysregulated RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) Assembly Within CNS Corresponds with Abnormal Mirna Expression During Autoimmune Demyelination
The Journal of Neuroscience, May 13, 2015 • 35(19):7521–7537 • 7521 Neurobiology of Disease Dysregulated RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) Assembly within CNS Corresponds with Abnormal miRNA Expression during Autoimmune Demyelination Przemysław Lewkowicz, Hanna Cwiklin´ska, Marcin P. Mycko, Maria Cichalewska, Małgorzata Domowicz, Natalia Lewkowicz, Anna Jurewicz, and Krzysztof W. Selmaj Department of Neurology, Laboratory of Neuroimmunology, Medical University of Lodz, 92-213 Lodz, Poland MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (Ago), GW182, and FXR1 proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). RISCs represent a critical checkpoint in the regulation and bioavailability of miRNAs. Recent studies have revealed dysregulation of miRNAs in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE); however, the function of RISCs in EAE and MS is largely unknown. Here, we examined the expression of Ago, GW182, and FXR1 in CNS tissue, oligodendrocytes (OLs), brain-infiltrating T lymphocytes, and CD3 ϩsplenocytes (SCs) of EAE mic, and found that global RISC protein levels were signifi- cantly dysregulated. Specifically, Ago2 and FXR1 levels were decreased in OLs and brain-infiltrating T cells in EAE mice. Accordingly, assembly of Ago2/GW182/FXR1 complexes in EAE brain tissues was disrupted, as confirmed by immunoprecipitation experiments. In parallel with alterations in RISC complex content in OLs, we found downregulation of miRNAs essential for differentiation and survival of OLs and myelin synthesis. In brain-infiltrating T lymphocytes, aberrant RISC formation contributed to miRNA-dependent proinflam- matory helper T-cell polarization. In CD3 ϩ SCs, we found increased expression of both Ago2 and FXR1 in EAE compared with nonim- munized mice.

Epigenetics and Neural Developmental Disorders: Washington DC, September 18 and 19, 2006 Xinyu Zhao1,*, ChangHui Pak2, Richard D. Smrt1, and Peng Jin2,* 1 Department of Neuroscience; University of New Mexico School of Medicine; Albuquerque, New Mexico USA 2 Department of Human Genetics; Emory University School of Medicine; Atlanta, Georgia USA Abstract Neural developmental disorders, such as autism, Rett Syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and Angelman syndrome manifest during early postnatal neural development. Although the genes responsible for some of these disorders have been identified, how the mutations of these genes affect neural development is currently unclear. Emerging evidence suggest that these disorders share common underlying defects in neuronal morphology, synaptic connectivity and brain plasticity. In particular, alterations in dendritic branching and spine morphology play a central role in the pathophysiology of most mental retardation disorders, suggesting that common pathways regulating neuronal function may be affected. Epigenetic modulations, mediated by DNA methylation, RNA-associated silencing, and histone modification, can serve as an intermediate process that imprints dynamic environmental experiences on the “fixed” genome, resulting in stable alterations in phenotypes. Disturbance in epigenetic regulations can lead to inappropriate expression or silencing of genes, causing an array of multi-system disorders and neoplasias. Rett syndrome, the most common form of mental retardation in young girls, is due to l mutation of MECP2, encoding a methylated DNA binding protein that translates DNA methylation into gene repression.

A Drosophila Fragile X Protein Interacts with Components of Rnai and Ribosomal Proteins
Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press A Drosophila fragile X protein interacts with components of RNAi and ribosomal proteins Akira Ishizuka,1,2,3 Mikiko C. Siomi,1,3 and Haruhiko Siomi1,4 1Institute for Genome Research, 2Graduate School of Nutrition University of Tokushima, Tokushima 770-8503, Japan Fragile X syndrome is a common form of inherited mental retardation caused by the loss of FMR1 expression. The FMR1 gene encodes an RNA-binding protein that associates with translating ribosomes and acts as a negative translational regulator. In Drosophila, the fly homolog of the FMR1 protein (dFMR1) binds to and represses the translation of an mRNA encoding of the microtuble-associated protein Futsch. We have isolated a dFMR1-associated complex that includes two ribosomal proteins, L5 and L11, along with 5S RNA. The dFMR1 complex also contains Argonaute2 (AGO2) and a Drosophila homolog of p68 RNA helicase (Dmp68). AGO2 is an essential component for the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific nuclease complex that mediates RNA interference (RNAi) in Drosophila. We show that Dmp68 is also required for efficient RNAi. We further show that dFMR1 is associated with Dicer, another essential component of the RNAi pathway, and microRNAs (miRNAs) in vivo, suggesting that dFMR1 is part of the RNAi-related apparatus. Our findings suggest a model in which the RNAi and dFMR1-mediated translational control pathways intersect in Drosophila. Our findings also raise the possibility that defects in an RNAi-related machinery may cause human disease.

Recombinant AGO2 protein Catalog No: 31486, 31886 Quantity: 20, 1000 µg Lot No: 07315001 Concentration: 0.4 Expressed In: Baculovirus µg/µl Source: Human Buffer Contents: Full length recombinant AGO2 protein expressed in Sf9 cells and is provided in 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, 0.04% Triton X-100, 0.2 mM TCEP and 0.2 mg/ml 3X FLAG peptide. Background: AGO2 (Argonaute RISC Catalytic Component 2, also known as Q10; EIF2C2) is a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. This process is important both in gene regulation by microRNAs and in defense against viral infections. The RNA-induced silencing complex, or RISC, is a multiprotein complex that includes argonaute proteins and one strand of a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). RISC uses the siRNA or miRNA as a template for recognizing complementary mRNA. When it recognizes a complementary strand, it activates AGO2 to cleave the mRNA. The precise mechanism of gene silencing depends on the degree of complementarity between the miRNA or siRNA and its target. Binding of RISC to a perfectly complementary mRNA generally results in silencing due to endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA specifically by AGO2. Binding of RISC to a partially complementary mRNA results in silencing through inhibition of translation, and this is independent of endonuclease activity. In some cases, RISC-mediated translational repression is also observed for miRNAs that perfectly match the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR). In addition, AGO2 can also up-regulate the posttranscriptional upregulation of specific mRNAs under certain growth conditions.
