Regulatory RNAs derived from transfer RNA?
Four recent studies suggest that cleavages of transfer RNAs generate products with microRNA-like features, with some evidence of function. If their regulatory functions were to be confirmed, these newly revealed RNAs would add to the expanding repertoire of small noncoding RNAs and would also provide new perspectives on the coevolution of transfer RNA and messenger RNA.
متن کاملDicer-Dependent Biogenesis of Small RNAs Derived from 7SL RNA
It has been reported that decreased Dicer expression leads to Alu RNAs accumulation in human retinal pigmented epithelium cells, and Dicer may process the endogenous SINE/B1 RNAs (the rodent equivalent of the primate Alu RNAs) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). In this study, we aimed to address whether Dicer can process Alu RNAs and their common ancestor, 7SL RNA. Using Solexa sequencing te...
متن کاملSmall RNAs derived from snoRNAs.
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) guide RNA modification and are localized in nucleoli and Cajal bodies in eukaryotic cells. Components of the RNA silencing pathway associate with these structures, and two recent reports have revealed that a human and a protozoan snoRNA can be processed into miRNA-like RNAs. Here we show that small RNAs with evolutionary conservation of size and position are deriv...
متن کاملRna Interference: Trends in Small Regulatory Rnas and Gene Silencing
RNAi pathway is a biologically conserved phenomenon which regulates the expression of genes through transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism. The pathway involves the network of different proteins to degrade the target mRNA and triggered by small regulatory RNAs. These small regulatory RNAs are generated via action of dicer enzyme on long double-stranded RNA or hairpin R...
متن کاملCharacterization of circulating transfer RNA-derived RNA fragments in cattle
The objective was to characterize naturally occurring circulating transfer RNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs) in cattle. Serum from eight clinically normal adult dairy cows was collected, and small non-coding RNAs were extracted immediately after collection and sequenced by Illumina MiSeq. Sequences aligned to transfer RNA (tRNA) genes or their flanking sequences were characterized. Sequences ali...
