Human long noncoding RNAs are substantially less folded than messenger RNAs.
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) do not code for proteins but function as RNAs. Because the functions of an RNA rely on either its sequence or secondary structure, lncRNAs should be folded at least as strongly as messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which serve as messengers for translation and are generally thought to lack secondary structure-dependent RNA-level functions. Contrary to this prediction, analysi...
متن کاملLong Noncoding RNAs
Ma Recent studies suggest that the majority of the human genome is transcribed, but only about 2% accounts for proteincoding exons. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a heterogenic class of RNAs that includes, for example, intergenic lncRNAs, antisense transcripts, and enhancer RNAs. Moreover, alternative splicing can lead to the formation of circular RNAs. In support of putative function...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNAs and human disease.
A new class of transcripts, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been recently found to be pervasively transcribed in the genome. Multiple lines of evidence increasingly link mutations and dysregulations of lncRNAs to diverse human diseases. Alterations in the primary structure, secondary structure, and expression levels of lncRNAs as well as their cognate RNA-binding proteins underlie diseases r...
متن کاملnoncoding rnas and cancer
the eukaryotic complexity involves the expression and regulation of genes via rna-dna, rna-rna, dna-protein and rna-protein interactions. recently, the role of rna molecules in the regulation of genes in higher organisms has become more evident, especially with the discovery that about 97% of the transcriptional output in higher organisms are represented as noncoding rnas: rrna, snornas, trna, ...
متن کاملLong Noncoding RNAs in Aging
Aging is associated with increasing the risk of disease and death. Recently, increasing evidences suggest that many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) function through specific interactions with other cellular factors, namely proteins, DNA, and other RNA molecules. LncRNAs play important roles in a wide range of age-related diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular pathologies, and neurodegenerative ...
