Evolution of vault RNAs.
Vault RNAs (vtRNAs) are small, about 100 nt long, polymerase III transcripts contained in the vault particles of eukaryotic cells. Presumably due to their enigmatic function, they have received little attention compared with most other noncoding RNA (ncRNA) families. Their poor sequence conservation makes homology search a complex and tedious task even within vertebrates. Here we report on a sy...
متن کاملHuman vault-associated non-coding RNAs bind to mitoxantrone, a chemotherapeutic compound
Human vaults are the largest cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein and are overexpressed in cancer cells. Vaults reportedly function in the extrusion of xenobiotics from the nuclei of resistant cells, but the interactions of xenobiotics with the vault-associated proteins or non-coding RNAs have never been directly observed. In the present study, we show that vault RNAs (vRNAs), specifically the hvg-1 a...
متن کاملHuman NLRP3 inflammasome senses multiple types of bacterial RNAs.
Inflammasomes are multiprotein platforms that activate caspase-1, which leads to the processing and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Previous studies demonstrated that bacterial RNAs activate the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in both human and murine macrophages. Interestingly, only mRN...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...
متن کاملPerformance of the Fuzzy Vault for Multiple Fingerprints (Extended Version)
The fuzzy vault is an error tolerant authentication method that ensures the privacy of the stored reference data. Several publications have proposed the application of the fuzzy vault to fingerprints, but the results of subsequent analyses indicate that a single finger does not contain sufficient information for a secure implementation. In this contribution, we present an implementation of a fu...
