A Truncated Form of Dicer Tilts the Balance of RNA Interference Pathways

The RNase III enzyme Dicer is responsible for key steps in the biogenesis of small RNA species in multiple RNA interference pathways. Here, we show that, in the adult C. elegans soma, half of the total DCR-1 protein is expressed as a truncated, stable C-terminal fragment named small DCR-1 (sDCR-1)....
