C3PO, an Endoribonuclease That Promotes RNAi by Facilitating RISC Activation

*The catalytic engine of RNA interference (RNAi) is the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), wherein the endoribonuclease Argonaute and single-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) direct target mRNA cleavage. We reconstituted long double-stranded RNA– and duplex siRNA–initiated RISC activities with the use of recombinant Drosophila Dicer-2, R2D2, and Ago2 proteins. We used this core reconstitution system to purify an RNAi regulator that we term C3PO (component 3 promoter of RISC), a complex of Translin and Trax. C3PO is a Mg2+-dependent endoribonuclease that promotes RISC activation by removing siRNA passenger strand cleavage products. These studies establish an in vitro RNAi reconstitution system and identify C3PO as a key activator of the core RNAi machinery.

双链RNA对基因表达的阻断作用被称为RNA干预（RNA interference, RNAi ）双链RNA经酶切后会形成很多小片段，即不能翻译产生蛋白质，它通过清除siRNA切割mRNA的残留物来提高RISC的效率。霍华休斯医学研究所的科学家在RNAi效率研究方面取得新的进展，发挥重要作用的就是siRNA复合物（RISC），文章C3PO, an Endoribonuclease That Promotes RNAi by Facilitating RISC A
