Small RNAs in Bacteria Diverse Regulators of Gene Expression in Response to Environmental Changes
Bacterial small, untranslated RNAs are important regulators that often act to transmit environmental signals when cells encounter suboptimal or stressful growth conditions. These RNAs help modulate changes in cellular metabolism to optimize utilization of available nutrients and improve the probability for survival.
متن کاملRNA silencing: small RNAs as ubiquitous regulators of gene expression.
'RNA silencing' is the suppression of gene expression through nucleotide sequence-specific interactions that are mediated by RNA. Initially identified as an immune system that is targeted against transposons and viruses, RNA silencing is emerging as a fundamental regulatory process that is likely to affect many layers of endogenous gene expression in most, if not all, eukaryotes.
متن کاملNon-coding RNAs as regulators of gene expression and epigenetics.
Genome-wide studies have revealed that mammalian genomes are pervasively transcribed. This has led to the identification and isolation of novel classes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that influence gene expression by a variety of mechanisms. Here we review the characteristics and functions of regulatory ncRNAs in chromatin remodelling and at multiple levels of transcriptional and post-transcriptio...
متن کاملSmall RNA Regulators of Gene Expression
This year, the Lasker Foundation recognizes Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvkun, and David Baulcombe for their pioneering work elucidating the role of short RNA species in the posttranscriptional regulation of eukaryotic gene expression.
متن کاملSmall RNAs establish gene expression thresholds.
The central role of small RNAs in regulating bacterial gene expression has been elucidated in the past years. Typically, small RNAs act via specific basepairing with target mRNAs, leading to modulation of translation initiation and mRNA stability. Quantitative studies suggest that small RNA regulation is characterized by unique features, which allow it to complement regulation at the transcript...
