Metabolic Enzymes Enjoying New Partnerships as RNA-Binding Proteins
In the past century, few areas of biology advanced as much as our understanding of the pathways of intermediary metabolism. Initially considered unimportant in terms of gene regulation, crucial cellular fate changes, cell differentiation, or malignant transformation are now known to involve 'metabolic remodeling' with profound changes in the expression of many metabolic enzyme genes. This revie...
متن کاملRNA-binding proteins.
The C. elegans genome encodes many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with diverse functions in development, indicative of extensive layers of post-transcriptional control of RNA metabolism. A number of C. elegans RBPs have been identified by forward or reverse genetics. They tend to display tissue-specific mutant phenotypes, which underscore their functional importance. In addition, several RBPs that...
متن کاملRNA-binding proteins as regulators of gene expression.
A plethora of post-transcriptional mechanisms are involved in essential steps in the pathway of genetic information expression in eukaryotes. These processes are specified by cis-acting signals on RNAs and are mediated by specific trans-acting factors, including RNA-binding proteins and small complementary RNAs. Recent information has begun to define the molecular mechanisms by which RNA-bindin...
متن کاملRNA-binding proteins: TRAPping RNA bases
In Bacillus subtilis, tryptophan biosynthesis is regulated by a mechanism called attenuation. The new crystal structure of the 'trp RNA binding attenuation protein', TRAP, in complex with RNA has provided new structural insights into how proteins can bind RNA to regulate transcription and translation.
متن کاملmicroRNAs and RNA-binding proteins
In the last decade, an ever-growing number of connections between microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have uncovered a new level of complexity of gene expression regulation in cancer. In this review, we examine several aspects of the functional interactions between miRNAs and RBPs in cancer models. We will provide examples of reciprocal regulation: miRNAs regulating the expressio...
