Abstract

Pre-mRNA splicing generates seemingly useless byproducts called lariat RNAs. In a recent issue of Science, Tang et al. show that lariat RNAs, if not cleared, act as precursors of 21 and 22-nucleotide small interfering RNAs that target defence-committed genes and dampen immunity during viral infection.

剪接副产物的清除促进了植物的防御

前mrna剪接产生看似无用的副产物，称为支链rna。在最近一期的《科学》（Science）杂志上，Tang等人表明，如果不清除幼虫rna，它们可以作为21和22核苷酸小干扰rna的前体，靶向防御基因，并在病毒感染期间抑制免疫。
