When you see this snake swallow Jon Voight and then regurgitate him in front of Jennifer Lopez like a cat presenting a dead bird, when you see Voight give a little ironic wink before collapsing to the floor and dying in a puddle of digestive slime, you are witnessing one of those classic I-Don't-Think-So moments that help define the contemporary moviegoing experience.
No sense of irony is needed to appreciate the name Malfatto (male badly, fatto made, put together), however, or the names Gobbi ( gobbo hunchback), Porcelli (piglets), Boccioni (bocca mouth plus the augmentative suffix, yielding big mouth), Capostagno (capo head, stagno tin), Sozzi (from the Sicilian sozzu filthy), or Moccio (snot or slime).

An alternative TS or its subunit is predicted to be encoded by a gene from Dictyostelium that rescues a slime mold mutant auxotrophic for thymidylate [ 30].
In contrast to the ubiquitous DDRP, cellular RDRPs that are involved in PTGS so far have been detected only in eukaryotes [ 1 26 ] . The PTGS phenomenon covers a variety of complementarity-dependent silencing pathways, such as RNA interference (RNAi) in animals and slime mold, co-suppression (silencing of transgene and the corresponding endogenous genes) and virus gene resistance in plants, and quelling in fungi, all of which share a common mechanism of RNA turnover [ 28 37 38 39 40 ] . Essentially, double-stranded (ds) RNA, which is formed in these processes, triggers the activation of a sequence-specific RNA degradation system, which targets homologous RNAs [ 41 42 ] . The dsRNA is broken down by the Dicer enzyme into 21-25 nucleotide (nt) fragments called small interfering RNA or siRNAs [ 43 44 45 ] . The siRNAs subsequently associate with a complex of proteins called RISC and target homologous RNA by serving as guides for multiple rounds of RNA cleavage [ 45 46 ] .
