Abstract excerpt
Endogenous RNA interference (endo-RNAi) pathways use a variety of mechanisms to generate siRNA and to mediate gene silencing. In Caenorhabditis elegans, DCR-1 is essential for competing RNAi pathways-the ERI endo-RNAi pathway and the exogenous RNAi pathway-to function. Here, we demonstrate that DCR-1 forms exclusive complexes in each pathway and further define the ERI-DCR-1 complex. We show that the tandem tudor...
