GO Term : GO:0009616 virus induced gene silencing GO

Namespace:  biological_process Obsolete:  false
description  Specific posttranscriptional gene inactivation ('silencing') both of viral gene(s), and host gene(s) homologous to the viral genes. This silencing is triggered by viral infection, and occurs through a specific decrease in the level of mRNA of both host and viral genes.

GO:0006952 defense response Reactions, triggered in response to the presence of a foreign body or the occurrence of an injury, which result in restriction of damage to the organism attacked or prevention/recovery from the infection caused by the attack.
GO:0009607 response to biotic stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a biotic stimulus, a stimulus caused or produced by a living organism.
GO:0006950 response to stress Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis, usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation).
GO:0006955 immune response Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat.
GO:0045087 innate immune response Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
GO:0051607 defense response to virus Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism.
GO:0008150 biological_process Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
GO:0050896 response to stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism.
GO:0065007 biological regulation Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function.
GO:0051704 multi-organism process A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0009605 response to external stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an external stimulus.
GO:0065008 regulation of biological quality Any process that modulates a qualitative or quantitative trait of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc.
GO:0051707 response to other organism Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from another living organism.
GO:0043207 response to external biotic stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an external biotic stimulus, an external stimulus caused by, or produced by living things.
GO:0044419 interspecies interaction between organisms Any process in which an organism has an effect on an organism of a different species.
GO:0044403 symbiosis, encompassing mutualism through parasitism An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. Microscopic symbionts are often referred to as endosymbionts. The various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, in which the association is disadvantageous or destructive to one of the organisms; mutualism, in which the association is advantageous, or often necessary to one or both and not harmful to either; and commensalism, in which one member of the association benefits while the other is not affected. However, mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism are often not discrete categories of interactions and should rather be perceived as a continuum of interaction ranging from parasitism to mutualism. In fact, the direction of a symbiotic interaction can change during the lifetime of the symbionts due to developmental changes as well as changes in the biotic/abiotic environment in which the interaction occurs.
GO:0051701 interaction with host An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. The term host is used for the larger (macro) of the two members of a symbiosis; the various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, commensalism and mutualism.
GO:0002376 immune system process Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
GO:0002252 immune effector process Any process of the immune system that can potentially contribute to an immune response.
GO:0044003 modification by symbiont of host morphology or physiology The process in which a symbiont organism effects a change in the structure or processes of its host organism.
GO:0051817 modification of morphology or physiology of other organism involved in symbiotic interaction The process in which an organism effects a change in the structure or processes of a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0035821 modification of morphology or physiology of other organism The process in which an organism effects a change in the structure or processes of a second organism.
GO:0098542 defense response to other organism Reactions triggered in response to the presence of another organism that act to protect the cell or organism from damage caused by that organism.
GO:0009615 response to virus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a virus.
GO:0098586 cellular response to virus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a virus.
GO:0009616 virus induced gene silencing Specific posttranscriptional gene inactivation ('silencing') both of viral gene(s), and host gene(s) homologous to the viral genes. This silencing is triggered by viral infection, and occurs through a specific decrease in the level of mRNA of both host and viral genes.
GO:0052018 modulation by symbiont of RNA levels in host The alteration by an organism of the levels of RNA in the host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0052249 modulation of RNA levels in other organism involved in symbiotic interaction The alteration by an organism of the levels of RNA in a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
