Welcome to RNAi Gateway
From humble beginnings as an obscure phenomenon in plants, RNA interference (RNAi) has evolved into an area of significant impact in numerous fields. This RNAi Gateway provides a convenient portal into publications relevant to every aspect of RNAi from journals throughout the Nature Publishing Group.

New structural insights into the processing of small interfering RNAs FREE
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology and Nature, October 2009
Reporting in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Nogales and colleagues describe the structure of the RISC-loading complex, which is responsible for transfer of siRNAs and miRNAs from the enzyme Dicer to an argonate protein, thus forming the functional centre of the RISC complex.
Ma and colleagues report in Nature the structure of the RNA methyltransferase HUA ENHANCER 1 (HEN1), which methylates miRNAs and siRNAs in plants. Four of the five structural domains in HEN1 bind to RNA to measure the length of RNA substrates and thus identify only those of the appropriate length.
