Gene Expression Analysis in NCI-H520 human cancer cells upon deadenylase silencing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The first and rate-limiting step in eukaryotic mRNA decay is the shortening of the poly(A) tail catalyzed by a family of enzymes known as deadenylases. In humans, several deadenylases have been recognized so far, yet it is not clear what the advantage is to have many enzymes catalyzing the same reaction. It is hypothesized that specific deadenylases may target unique subsets of mRNAs, or multiple deadenylases can act on the same mRNA, with discrete but overlapping functions. To understand the biological significance of the diversity of these enzymes we silenced the expression of several deadenylases, including PARN, NOC, CNOT6, CNOT6L, and CNOT7, in human cells of cancer origin (NCI-H520; squamous lung cancer), and analyze the impact on gene expression with microarrays.
