During the Spanish Civil War (1936 1939), the Canary Islands suffered one of the highest levels of repression by the insurgent side, even though there were no battles in the islands.
Because of their higher level of repression in irradiated proliferating cells, miR-191-5p, miR-200b-3p and miR-331-3p were selected for further analysis.
Those targets with the greatest PITA score demonstrated a high level of repression, in the order of 28 42% expression relative to our controls.
Even in reports describing the function of the uORF itself, the role of the translated peptide is primarily a cis-acting one, either causing ribosome stalling at the termination codon of the uORF and a high level of repression of the main CDS [ 25, 26] or, more occasionally, affecting mRNA stability.
Notably, the highest level of transcriptional repression was detected in Dusp6 (d-value = -16.4; R-fold = 0.09), a dual-specificity phosphatase acting in Ras signaling pathways.
This CRISPR based interference (CRISPRi) not only showed high levels of repression but also no evidence of off-target effects by RNA-seq.
Gene expression decreased 2- to 36-fold under shading conditions, with high levels of repression of the expression of anthocyanin-specific branch genes DFR, ANS, 3GT, 3MT1 and 3MT2.
The gene that displayed the highest level of regulation (23-fold repression in transgenic vs wt mice) encodes for hepatic lipase, a key enzyme in lipid metabolism.
It was also evident that SACMV was able to maintain a high level of transcript repression as virus infection persisted (67 dpi), and because cassava is a vegetatively propagated crop, systemic infection can persist for months until harvest.
On the contrary we see a high level of de-repression in cells grown on limiting glucose (Table 6).
