Translational Regulation of Utrophin by miRNAs
BACKGROUND Utrophin is the autosomal homolog of dystrophin, the product of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) locus. Its regulation is of therapeutic interest as its overexpression can compensate for dystrophin's absence in animal models of DMD. The tissue distribution and transcriptional regulation of utrophin have been characterized extensively, and more recently translational control mech...
متن کاملGenetic Mapping of Arabidopsis Mutants Involved in Translational Regulation of Mirnas
By 2050, 85% of OECD populations will be living in cities. In the Southeastern U.S, urban areas are projected to grow 160% by 2060, forming a “megalopolis” that stretches 400 miles across Georgia and both Carolinas. Simultaneously urban cores in mid-small sized metropolitan areas are being ‘regenerated.’ A term of European origin, urban regeneration seeks to improve the economic, physical, soci...
متن کاملHow do miRNAs mediate translational repression?
Micro(mi)RNAs regulate gene expression by what are believed to be related but separate mechanistic processes. The relative contribution that each process plays, their mechanistic overlap, and the degree by which they regulate complex genetic networks is still being unraveled. One process by which miRNAs inhibit gene expression occurs through translational repression. In recent years, there has ...
متن کاملAutophagy regulation by miRNAs: when cleaning goes out of service.
Autophagy is a degradation pathway, recycling cell components in a number of basal and sublethal stress conditions. The formation of specific vesicles (autophagosomes), carrying their content to the lysosome, is primed by several post-translational molecular events, including protein modification and translocation to the ER or other autophagy start sites. However, less is known about autophagy ...
متن کاملmiRNAs Get an Early Start on Translational Silencing
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control gene expression by regulating mRNA stability and translation. Using cell-free in vitro systems, several labs have recently reported insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying miRNA-guided translational repression (Kiriakidou et al., 2007; Mathonnet et al., 2007; Thermann and Hentze, 2007; Wakiyama et al., 2007). These new findings indicate that miRNAs inhibit t...
