  1. 1. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Védís Mist Eyju Agnadóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE

  3. 2. Expression of FLAG-tagged argonautes in Dictyostelium discoideum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

    Author : Zozek Abdul Rahman; [2022]
    Keywords : Dictyostelium; discoideum; Argonaute; Protein; FLAG; FLAG-tag; Molecular Biology; Microbiology; SorMC; agnA; agnC; agnE; electrophoresis; pDM304;

    Abstract : Argonautes are conserved RNA-binding proteins that can regulate gene expression post transcriptionally through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This is done through the use of small RNAs, e.g. sRNAs that act as a guide for the argonautes, allowing for sequence-specific binding to the target site. READ MORE

  4. 3. Search for the Argonaute protein that governs miRNA regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Miranda Åström; [2021]
    Keywords : Argonaute proteins; RNA interference; miRNA; 3xFLAG-tag;

    Abstract : MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through RNA interference. These small RNAs enact gene silencing by forming a RNA-inducing silencing complex together with the effector protein Argonaute. The function of the Argonautes in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is not yet fully understood. READ MORE

  5. 4. Lactobacilli Suppress Gene Expression of Key Proteins Involved in miRNA Biogenesis in HT29 and VK2/E6E7 Cells

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Annette Jacobsen; [2013]
    Keywords : Argonaute; Dicer; Drosha;

    Abstract : It has previously been demonstrated that lactic acid bacteria are able to influence the innate immune response of host cells. One way this can be achieved is through modulation of inflammatory cascades initiated by pattern recognition elements such as toll-like receptors. READ MORE
