In Drosophila (droh-SAW-fih-lah), the Loquacious protein activates this process by suppressing Stellate.
In Drosophila (droh-SAW-fih-lah), the Loquacious protein activates this process by suppressing Stellate. Controls called "scramble" are most o en applied in experiments using this process. A protein central to this process, which has a piwi (pee-wee) domain, was named because its Arabidopsis (ah-RAB-ih-DOP-sis) mutants look like octopi. This process, whose mechanism was  rst discovered in the genes lin-4 and let-27 (LIN-four and LET-27), increases the activity of cytoÂ·plasmic P bodies and is activated when Drosha binds to Pasha. This process progresses when the Argonaute nuclease, a component of the RISC ("risk"), processes the remnants of Dicer cleavage. Craig Mello and Andrew Fire won a Nobel for discovering the mechanism of this process in C. elegans (see eh-leh-ganz). For 10 points, name this technique that uses sÂ·iÂ·RNAs and mÂ·iÂ·RNAs to knock down a gene.
