Class 3 RNase III

  • Class 3 RNases III include the Dicer family of enzymes known to function in RNA interference (RNAi). Class III Rinases are S-Rnases components. It is a component of the self-incompatibility system in Rosaceae, Solanaceae, and Plantaginaceae. They are recruited to cope with various environmental stress scenarios. [1]
  • Dicer enzymes process dsRNA subtrates into small RNA fragments of individual size ranging from 21-27 nucleotides in length. [2] Dicer has an N-terminal helicase/ATPase domain which is followed by another domain of an unknown function. It is centrally positioned PAZ domain and a C-terminal configuration which includes one dsRBD and two RNase III catalytic domains. [3]. Interactions of Dicer occurs with other proteins, which includes TRBP, PACT, and Ago2. [4] RNAs that are produced by Dicer act as guides for a sequence of particular silencing of cognate genes through RNAi and related pathways. [2]
