A long non-coding RNA is required for targeting centromeric protein A to the human centromere
The centromere is a specialized chromatin region marked by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Although active centromeric transcription has been documented for over a decade, the role of centromeric transcription or transcripts has been elusive. Here, we report that centromeric α-satellite transcription is dependent on RNA Polymerase II and occurs at late mitosis into early G1, concurrent with the ...
متن کاملThe intron in centromeric noncoding RNA facilitates RNAi-mediated formation of heterochromatin
In fission yeast, the formation of centromeric heterochromatin is induced through the RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated pathway. Some pre-mRNA splicing mutants (prp) exhibit defective formation of centromeric heterochromatin, suggesting that splicing factors play roles in the formation of heterochromatin, or alternatively that the defect is caused by impaired splicing of pre-mRNAs encoding RNAi ...
متن کاملNoncoding Centromeric RNA Expression Impairs Chromosome Stability in Human and Murine Stem Cells
We analyzed the effect of transcribed noncoding RNA centromeric satellites on chromosome segregation in normal human and murine stem and fibrosarcoma cells. The overexpression of different centromeric alphoid DNAs in all cell lines induced a marked increase in chromosome mis-segregation in anaphase. Overexpression of centromeric mouse minor satellite also increased chromosome instability in the...
متن کاملThe Rna Component of Telomerase: an Unusual Noncoding Rna
Elongation of human telomeres requires the enzymatic activity of the telomerase holoenzyme. In vitro, telomerase activity can be reconstituted by the catalytic subunit (hTERT) and the RNA subunit (called hTERC, hTER, or hTR). However, the routes of the RNA and protein components of telomerase from their generation to assembly into telomerase appear to be complex and likely to be highly regulate...
متن کاملStudy of Long Noncoding RNA FER1L4 and RB1, as Its Competing Endogenous RNA Network Target Gene, in Breast Cancer
Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among females, which requires an exploration for markers to propose a more specific categorization of this cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the main subset of noncoding transcripts, are involved in tumorigenic processes. In this study, we investigated the expression of the fer-1–like family member 4 (FER...
