Small Regulatory RNAs May Sharpen Spatial Expression Patterns
The precise establishment of gene expression patterns is a crucial step in development. Formation of a sharp boundary between high and low spatial expression domains requires a genetic mechanism that exhibits sensitivity, yet is robust to fluctuations, a demand that may not be easily achieved by morphogens alone. Recently, it has been demonstrated that small RNAs (and, in particular, microRNAs)...
متن کاملAnalysis of Expression of Small Regulatory Rnas in Barley
Small RNAs (sRNA) of 15-30 nucleotides regulate various processes in eukaryotes. Regulatory sRNAs are produced through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway from double stranded RNA (dsRNA). Dicer or dicer-like enzyme processes the dsRNAs into 15-30 bp dsRNAs, which in turn bind to the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to regulate gene expression. We previously cloned sRNAs from barley. In thi...
متن کاملDynamic features of gene expression control by small regulatory RNAs.
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) in eukaryotes and bacteria play an important role in the regulation of gene expression either by binding to regulatory proteins or directly to target mRNAs. Two of the best-characterized bacterial sRNAs, Spot42 and RyhB, form a complementary pair with the ribosome binding region of their target mRNAs, thereby inhibiting translation or promoting mRNA degradation. To...
متن کاملSmall regulatory RNAs in mammals.
Mammalian cells harbor numerous small non-protein-coding RNAs, including small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and small double-stranded RNAs, which regulate gene expression at many levels including chromatin architecture, RNA editing, RNA stability, translation, and quite possibly transcription and splicing. These RNAs are processed by multistep pa...
متن کاملSmall regulatory RNAs in Archaea
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are universally distributed in all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes. In bacteria, sRNAs typically function by binding near the translation start site of their target mRNAs and thereby inhibit or activate translation. In eukaryotes, miRNAs and siRNAs typically bind to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of their target mRNAs and influence tra...
