The RNA silencing endonuclease Argonaute 2 mediates specific antiviral immunity in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: The central catalytic component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), the nuclease Argonaute 2 (Ago-2), is essential for antiviral defense in adult Drosophila melanogaster.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of transitive and systemic pathways allows cell-specific and isoform-specific RNAi in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The results provide evidence that transitive and systemic aspects of RNAi are not conserved in Drosophila and demonstrate that dsRNA-producing transgenes allow powerful reverse genetic approaches to be conducted in this model organism, by knocking down gene functions at the resolution of a single-cell type and of asingle isoform.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiviral immunity in Drosophila requires systemic RNA interference spread

TL;DR: It is shown that a recently defined double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) uptake pathway is essential for effective antiviral RNAi immunity in adult flies, and that spread of dsRNA to uninfected sites is essential.
