Regulatory small RNAs: the key to coordinating global regulatory circuits.
Until recently, only a dozen small RNAs that do not function as tRNAs or rRNAs were known for Escherichia coli. In the last 3 years, systematic screens based on computation, microarrays, and cloning have led to the discovery of more than 50 novel small-RNA (sRNA)-encoding genes in this bacterium (8, 9, 23, 27, 29, 31, 34). Computational characterization of the sRNA genes revealed few shared gen...
متن کاملSmall regulatory RNAs in mammals.
Mammalian cells harbor numerous small non-protein-coding RNAs, including small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and small double-stranded RNAs, which regulate gene expression at many levels including chromatin architecture, RNA editing, RNA stability, translation, and quite possibly transcription and splicing. These RNAs are processed by multistep pa...
متن کاملSmall regulatory RNAs in Archaea
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are universally distributed in all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes. In bacteria, sRNAs typically function by binding near the translation start site of their target mRNAs and thereby inhibit or activate translation. In eukaryotes, miRNAs and siRNAs typically bind to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of their target mRNAs and influence tra...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
متن کاملSmall Regulatory RNAs of Rickettsia conorii
Small regulatory RNAs comprise critically important modulators of gene expression in bacteria, yet very little is known about their prevalence and functions in Rickettsia species. R. conorii, the causative agent of Mediterranean spotted fever, is a tick-borne pathogen that primarily infects microvascular endothelium in humans. We have determined the transcriptional landscape of R. conorii durin...
