We applied the small interfering RNA (siRNA) technique and over-expression of a dominant-negative mutant to evaluate the role of SNAP-23, a non-neuronal isoform of SNAP-25, in constitutive exocytosis from HeLa cells. Although the protein level of SNAP-23 was reduced to less than 10% of the control value by siRNA directed against SNAP-23, exocytosis of SEAP (secreted alkaline phosphatase) was normal. Double knockdown of SNAP-23 and syntaxin-4 also failed to inhibit the secretion. Furthermore, over-expression of deltaC8-SNAP-23, a dominant-negative mutant of SNAP-23, did not abrogate SEAP secretion. These results suggest that SNAP-23 is not essential for constitutive exocytosis of SEAP.

D034741 RNA, Small Interfering Small double-stranded, non-protein coding RNAs (21-31 nucleotides) involved in GENE SILENCING functions, especially RNA INTERFERENCE (RNAi). Endogenously, siRNAs are generated from dsRNAs (RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED) by the same ribonuclease, Dicer, that generates miRNAs (MICRORNAS). The perfect match of the siRNAs' antisense strand to their target RNAs mediates RNAi by siRNA-guided RNA cleavage. siRNAs fall into different classes including trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA), repeat-associated RNA (rasiRNA), small-scan RNA (scnRNA), and Piwi protein-interacting RNA (piRNA) and have different specific gene silencing functions.
