Small RNAs in Bacterial Cell-Cell Communication
M any types of free-living bacteria communicate with one another by chemical signals, thereby coordinating metabolic activities and developmental processes. For instance, starved cells of the myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus release the A signal, a mixture of six amino acids, to promote aggregation, the first step in the development of a fruiting body. Escherichia coli cells coordinate their mo...
متن کاملSmall Talk Cell-to-Cell Communication in Bacteria
In a process called quorum sensing, groups of bacteria communicate with one another to coordinate their behavior and function like a multicellular organism. A diverse array of secreted chemical signal molecules and signal detection apparatuses facilitate highly productive intra- and interspecies relationships.
متن کاملThe emerging landscape of small nucleolar RNAs in cell biology
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a large class of small noncoding RNAs present in all eukaryotes sequenced thus far. As a family, they have been well characterized as playing a central role in ribosome biogenesis, guiding either the sequence-specific chemical modification of pre-rRNA (ribosomal RNA) or its processing. However, in higher eukaryotes, numerous orphan snoRNAs were described over ...
متن کاملSelective cell death mediated by small conditional RNAs
Cancer cells are characterized by genetic mutations that deregulate cell proliferation and suppress cell death. To arrest the uncontrolled replication of malignant cells, conventional chemotherapies systemically disrupt cell division, causing diverse and often severe side effects as a result of collateral damage to normal cells. Seeking to address this shortcoming, we pursue therapeutic regulat...
متن کاملSmall RNAs guide hematopoietic cell differentiation and function.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression that help direct normal differentiation and malignant transformation of hematopoietic cells. This review summarizes our current knowledge of how miRNAs function in normal and malignant hematopoiesis and how miRNAs might be applied for disease treatment.
