Influence of untranslated regions on retroviral mRNA transfer and expression
BACKGROUND Deliberate cellular reprogramming is becoming a realistic objective in the clinic. While the origin of the target cells is critical, delivery of bioactive molecules to trigger a shift in cell-fate remains the major hurdle. To date, several strategies based either on non-integrative vectors, protein transfer or mRNA delivery have been investigated. In a recent study, a unique modifica...
متن کاملRegulatory RNAs: Have mRNA Untranslated Regions Joined the Party
Perspective I n the last decade or so, we have become familiar with the discovery of new classes of nuclear-encoded regulators (see Glossary) as fundamental controllers of gene expression. Each new discovery has again highlighted the incomplete nature of our understanding of the genome and its regulation. First, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) demonstrated that RNA molecules are not merely comp...
متن کاملImpact of Genetic Variants in Mir-122 Gene and its Flanking Regions on Hepatitis B Risk
MicroRNAs are small non coding RNAs that are involved in gene expression regulation. Mir-122 was reported to inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV), but little is known about the role of mir-122 polymorphisms on HBV infection development. This present study aimed to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in mir-122 gene region with HBV infection. Study cases were HB...
متن کاملChallenging the Roles of NSP3 and Untranslated Regions in Rotavirus mRNA Translation.
Rotavirus NSP3 is a translational surrogate of the PABP-poly(A) complex for rotavirus mRNAs. To further explore the effects of NSP3 and untranslated regions (UTRs) on rotavirus mRNAs translation, we used a quantitative in vivo assay with simultaneous cytoplasmic NSP3 expression (wild-type or deletion mutant) and electroporated rotavirus-like and standard synthetic mRNAs. This assay shows that t...
متن کامل3'-Untranslated regions are important in mRNA localization and translation: lessons from selenium and metallothionein.
There is increasing evidence that 3'-UTRs (3'-untranslated regions) of mRNAs contain regulatory elements that have important roles in post-transcriptional control of gene expression. For example, 3'-UTRs are important in determining mRNA localization and directing selenocysteine insertion during selenoprotein synthesis. Metallothionein mRNA is localized around the nucleus and associated with th...
