Short RNAs in environmental adaptation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Non-coding small RNAs (19-24 nucleotide long) have recently been recognized as the important regulator of gene expression in both plants and animals. Several classes of endogenous short RNAs have partial or near perfect complementarity to mRNAs and a protein complex is guided by short RNAs to target mRNAs. The targeted mRNA is either cleaved or its translation is suppressed. Initially, short RNAs were believed to primarily regulate the normal development of plants and animals, but recent advances implicate short RNAs in environmental adaptation.

Regulatory RNAs Involved in Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance
An increasing number of RNAs have been recently shown to possess regulatory functions similar to those of proteins. In bacteria, these regulatory RNAs are usually noncoding and are short size (50–500 nts) transcripts that are often referred to as small RNAs (sRNAs) [1,2]. These sRNAs are synthesized under specific environmental conditions and play a major role in the regulation of various cellu...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNAs in cardiac development and pathophysiology.
Heart function requires sophisticated regulatory networks to orchestrate organ development, physiological responses, and environmental adaptation. Until recently, it was thought that these regulatory networks are composed solely of protein-mediated transcriptional control and signaling systems; consequently, it was thought that cardiac disease involves perturbation of these systems. However, it...

Streptococcal species are Gram-positive bacteria involved in severe and invasive diseases in humans and animals. Although, this group includes different pathogenic species involved in life-threatening infections for humans, it also includes beneficial species, such as Streptococcus thermophilus, which is used in yogurt production. In bacteria virulence factors are controlled by various regulato...
متن کاملIdentification of soybean circular RNAs in response to low nitrogen and phosphorus stress
Soybean, one of the most important sources of edible oil and protein in the world, is exposed to various environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. These stresses can negatively impact the quality and quantity of soybean production. This study aimed to identify genes that express circular RNAs in response to low phosphorus and nitrogen stresses in soybean roots. Soybean seeds were grown under d...

Shewanella are one of the most abundant Proteobacteria in the deep-sea and are renowned for their versatile electron accepting capacities. The molecular mechanisms involved in their adaptation to diverse and extreme environments are not well understood. Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are known for modulating the gene expression at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels, subsequently play...
