Assembly and function of RNA silencing complexes

In the RNA-interference pathway, double-stranded RNA induces sequence-specific mRNA degradation through the action of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Recent work has provided our first glimpses of the RISC-assembly pathway and uncovered the biochemical roles of critical RISC components. These advances have taken our mechanistic understanding of RNA interference to a new level and promise to improve our ability to exploit this biological process for use in experimental biology and medicine.
