Regulation by iron: RNA rules the rust.
Obtaining and maintaining proper levels of iron are major challenges for most organisms (reviews may be found in references 2, 9, and 10). The redox features that make iron such a versatile and valuable cofactor can also lead to formation of extremely toxic and highly reactive oxygen species, particularly the hydroxyl radical, which can damage any cellular component. Hence, bacteria and other o...
متن کاملIron regulation by hepcidin.
Hepcidin is a key hormone that is involved in the control of iron homeostasis in the body. Physiologically, hepcidin is controlled by iron stores, inflammation, hypoxia, and erythropoiesis. The regulation of hepcidin expression by iron is a complex process that requires the coordination of multiple proteins, including hemojuvelin, bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6), hereditary hemochromatosis ...
متن کاملRNA rules!
Twenty years ago, I was a graduate student in the physics department at MIT. I had no cell phone and could receive the entire NCBI database in the mail. I found biology fascinating, but how could one possibly make sense of it? What even were the big questions? Take Darwin’s beautiful theory of evolution. From a physicist’s perspective “survival of the fittest” is a recursive idea where the boun...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of sidB Gene by Use of RNA Interference in Aspergillus nidulans
Background: Introduction of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery has guided the researchers to discover the function of essential vital or virulence factor genes in the microorganisms such as fungi. In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, the gene sidB plays an essential role in septation, conidiation and vegetative hyphal growth. In the present study, we benefited from the RNAi strate...
متن کاملEpigenetic Regulation by Heritable RNA
Genomic concepts are based on the assumption that phenotypes arise from the expression of genetic variants. However, the presence of non-Mendelian inheritance patterns provides a direct challenge to this view and suggests an important role for alternative mechanisms of gene regulation and inheritance. Over the past few years, a highly complex and diverse network of noncoding RNAs has been disco...
