Project description:We have evaluated the possible use of zebrafish to study antiviral RNAi with sindbis virus (SINV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and nodamura virus (NoV). We find that SINV and NoV viruses induce the production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs), the hallmark of antiviral RNAi, with a preference of 22 nucleotides in length after infection of larval zebrafish. Meanwhile, the suppressor of RNAi (VSR) protein, NoV B2, may affect the accumulation of the NoV virus in zebrafish.
Project description:We used microarray analysis to study the expression differences between controls and hESCs expressing RB7LP for 3 days, and controls and hESCs expressing T121 for 3 days. RB7LP is the large pocket fragment of the retinoblastoma protein (RB) fused to GFP, in which seven phosphorylation sites for Cdk have been mutated (Angus, SP et al. Mol Cell Biol 23, 8172 (Nov, 2003). T121 is a truncated form of the SV40 Large T (LT) viral oncoprotein that inactivates the function of the three members of the retinoblastoma (RB) protein family (RB, p107, p130).
