Retrotransposons and non-protein coding RNAs.
Retrotransposons constitute a significant fraction of mammalian genomes. Considering the finding of widespread transcriptional activity across entire genomes, it is not surprising that retrotransposons contribute to the collective RNA pool. However, the transcriptional output from retrotransposons does not merely represent spurious transcription. We review examples of functional RNAs transcribe...
متن کاملThe Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Ovarian Cancer
Background: Ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. Various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. However, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long non-co...
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 کاملHide and Seek: Protein-coding Sequences Inside “Non-coding” RNAs
Muscle cells are critically dependent on calcium homeostasis. Without having the right amount of calcium ions just on the spot and coordinated in between muscle cells, no contraction can take place. Therefore, calcium homeostasis is one of the critical regulatory mechanisms in all muscle cells, including skeletal muscle and heart [1,2]. Sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca adenosine triphosphatase (S...
متن کاملStress Responsive Non-protein Coding RNAs
Environmental or growth conditions are constantly influencing the development and ma‐ turation of organisms. To ensure precise control of gene expression under these normal as well as stress conditions, organisms developed very accurate molecular regulatory mechanisms at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Key roles of small noncod‐ ing RNAs (miRNAs and siRNAs) in regulation of gene...
