Pathway for processing for RNA interference (RNAi) activity.
Cellular long double-strand RNA (dsRNA) and premicroRNA (miRNA) are cleaved by Dicer to short interfering RNA (siRNA) or miRNA shorter than 30 bp in length. These pieces bind to RNA-inducted silencing complex (RISC); one strand is separated off while the remaining strands stay bound to RISC. This RISC strand binds to messenger RNA (mRNA) of exact sequence (siRNA) or similar sequence (miRNA) to either cause degradation of mRNA or block in translation, respectively. Introduction into the cell of precursor RNA from an exogenous source such as a viral vector containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) constructs or siRNA alone can also feed into the RNAi pathway. shRNA is cleaved by Dicer to siRNA; siRNA bypasses Dicer. Either species then binds to RISC and continues into the RNAi pathway as described. AGO2—argonaute2.

Microbicide drug candidates to prevent HIV infection - Lancet 2007; 369: 787–97
● Potent activity against most HIV strains
● Preferably broad activity against other sexually transmitted pathogens
● Direct virucidal activity
● Preservation of microbicidal activity in the presence of seminal fluid
● Effective against both cell-free and cell-associated HIV
● No effect on the structural integrity of vaginal, cervical, or rectal mucosal epithelium
● No effect on vaginal commensal flora, especially lactobacilli
● Preferentially contraceptive properties
● Resistant to acidic, vaginal pH or enforcing an acidic pH
● Stable at higher, tropical temperatures
● Odourless, colourless, and tasteless
● Compatibility with latex
● Easy to use
● Low cost and readily accessible
● Acceptable to all sexual partners

Top and side views of the three important conformations of HIV-1 protease
(a) The ‘closed’ form is observed in crystal structures with ligands bound.
(b) The flaps of the free protease assume a ‘semi-open’ conformation in crystal structures (PDB 1HHP is shown). The three top views (a–c) highlight the change in flap handedness between closed and semi-open structures. Proposed allosteric inhibition sites are labeled as (i) and (ii).
(c) The fully ‘open’ form in which the active site becomes accessible to substrate or inhibitors was not observed in crystal structures but was implied from NMR experiments. The structure shown is from molecular dynamics simulations [
Targeting structural flexibility in HIV-1 protease inhibitor binding - Drug Discovery Today Volume 12, Numbers 3/4 February 2007
Snapshots from molecular dynamics simulations of inhibitor-bound and free protease, and from simulations following the manual docking of the inhibitor
into the binding site.
The ‘closed’ conformation (a) is represented by an ensemble of closed structures with high similarity (f). By contrast, the ‘semi-open’
conformation (b) represents a much more flexible ensemble (g) with larger fluctuations of the flaps. These eventually lead to full
opening of flaps (c,d); the ‘open’ form is transient and returns to the semi-open conformation (e). When the inhibitor is manually
placed into a binding site (h), it induces na asymmetric flap closure with initial closing of one of the flaps (i), finally converting to the
fully closed form (j) with flaps pulled into the binding site and flap handedness appropriate for the closed state.

Schematic representation of simulated transitions between the three protease forms.
The ‘closed’ flap conformation converts to the ‘semiopen’ one upon removal of ligand. Ligand induces the closure of the ‘open’ form. Free protease exists primarily in the semi-open form but transiently changes to the fully open form and, occasionally, even to the closed form that is only weakly populated in the absence of a ligand.
