Summary of findings |
| 17381278 |
Dicer-1 and Dicer-2 are required for short interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed mRNA cleavage by facilitating distinct steps in the assembly of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). |
| 15066284 |
SiRNAs must first interact with Dcr-2 to reach the R3 "holo-RISC" complex. Dcr-2 assembles into RISC along with the siRNAs, indicating that its role extends beyond the initiation phase of RNAi. |
| 14512631 |
results indicate that R2D2 bridges the initiation and effector steps of the Drosophila RNAi pathway by facilitating small interfering RNA (siRNA) passage from Dicer to RNA-initiated silencing complex (RISC) |
| 16554838 |
Dcr-2 is a host susceptibility locus for virus infections. |
| 15066283 |
Dicer-2 is required for siRNA-directed mRNA cleavage, though its RNase III activity is not required. Dicer-2 facilitates distinct steps in the assembly of siRISC. |
