Abstract excerpt
The post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism in Neurospora crassa, called quelling, was shown to involve the products of three genes termed quelling-defective. A homologue to the qde-3 gene encoding a putative RecQ-type DNA helicase was isolated and was named RecQ-2. Characterisation of the RecQ-2 gene has revealed that it is not involved in quelling, but may co-operate with the qde-3 gene product in a...
