Ars2 Regulates Both miRNA- and siRNA- Dependent Silencing and Suppresses RNA Virus Infection in Drosophila

TL;DR: It is shown that Ars2 plays an essential role in miRNA-mediated silencing, interacting with the Microprocessor and stabilizing pri-miRNAs, and provides new insight into the biogenesis of small RNAs that may be extended to other systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ars2 links the nuclear cap binding complex to RNA interference and cell proliferation

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a role for Ars2 in RNA interference regulation during cell proliferation and reduced the levels of several miRNAs, including miR-21, let-7, andMiR-155, that are implicated in cellular transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Analysis of RNA Secondary Structure in Two Metazoans

TL;DR: A high-throughput, sequencing-based, structure-mapping approach is used to identify the paired and unpaired components of the Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans transcriptomes, which allows us to identify conserved features of RNA secondary structure in metazoans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The exoribonuclease Nibbler controls 3' end processing of microRNAs in Drosophila.

TL;DR: Deep sequencing analysis revealed a larger set of multi-isoform miRNAs that are controlled by nibbler, suggesting that Nbr-mediated 3' end processing represents a critical step in miRNA maturation that impacts miRNA diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate antiviral immunity in Drosophila.

TL;DR: This review will highlight the recent discoveries in antiviral immunity in insects and will reveal some of the lessons learned.
