    Snippet: A specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) structure, $21-22 bp dsRNA with 3 0 overhangs, plays a critical role in initiating both microRNA (miRNA)-and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing, as it is the structure recognized by the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery, the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) (1) (2) (3) . Except for preformed siRNA duplexes of $21 bp, the RISC-loaded small RNAs are generated by a ribonuclease (RNase) II.....
    Document: A specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) structure, $21-22 bp dsRNA with 3 0 overhangs, plays a critical role in initiating both microRNA (miRNA)-and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing, as it is the structure recognized by the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery, the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) (1) (2) (3) . Except for preformed siRNA duplexes of $21 bp, the RISC-loaded small RNAs are generated by a ribonuclease (RNase) III-like enzyme that is found in virtually all eukaryotic organisms. This enzyme, aptly named Dicer for its ability to cleave a variety of larger (>30 bp) dsRNA molecules into the $21 bp dsRNA with a characteristic 3 0 overhang of 2 nt, is a multidomain RNA-binding protein and itself a component of RISC.
