Chromosome fusions triggered by noncoding RNA
Chromosomal fusions are common in normal and cancer cells and can produce aberrant gene products that promote transformation. The mechanisms driving these fusions are poorly understood, but recurrent fusions are widespread. This suggests an underlying mechanism, and some authors have proposed a possible role for RNA in this process. The unicellular eukaryote Oxytricha trifallax displays an exor...
متن کاملA New Noncoding RNA Arranges Bacterial Chromosome Organization
UNLABELLED Repeated extragenic palindromes (REPs) in the enterobacterial genomes are usually composed of individual palindromic units separated by linker sequences. A total of 355 annotated REPs are distributed along the Escherichia coli genome. RNA sequence (RNAseq) analysis showed that almost 80% of the REPs in E. coli are transcribed. The DNA sequence of REP325 showed that it is a cluster of...
متن کاملModulation of Chromatin by Noncoding RNA.
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are remarkably powerful, flexible, and pervasive cellular regulators. The involvement of these molecules in virtually all aspects of eukaryotic chromatin function is notable. Long and short ncRNAs play broadly complementary roles in these processes. Short ncRNAs underlie a programmable system of chromatin modification that silences mobile elements, identifies boundaries,...
متن کاملRiboactivators: transcription activation by noncoding RNA.
The paradigm of gene regulation was forever changed by the discovery that short RNA duplexes could directly regulate gene expression. Most regulatory roles attributed to noncoding RNA were often repressive. Recent observations are beginning to reveal that duplex RNA molecules can stimulate gene transcription. These RNA activators employ a wide array of mechanisms to up-regulate transcription of...
