Transcription control: Repressed repeats express themselves
Multi-copy transgenes are poorly expressed in plants, Drosophila and mammals; this repression is relieved by reducing copy number, leading to chromatin remodeling and transcriptional activation. Host defense mechanisms monitor repeated sequences in the genome, modulating their chromatin packaging and functional capabilities.
متن کاملSilent RNAs express themselves
R NA molecules stowed in cytoplasmic granules are generally thought to be silent. But a protein mutated in some amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients forms granules that permit translation of stored RNAs, Yasuda et al. reveal (1). The fi nding identifi es a new mechanism that could contribute to the pathology of the disease and suggests that RNAs in other types of granules also may not b...
متن کاملHow Iranian Women Express Themselves through Social Media Photos: A Case Study of Instagram
In this study, the issue of using Instagram social network by different groups of Iranian women and their interests and desires in publication of photos is investigated. The purpose of the study is to identify the common aspects and differences in women’s lives reflected in their self-expression efforts based on their social characteristics. Therefore, the women were classified into eight...
متن کاملEngineering cis-telomerase RNAs that add telomeric repeats to themselves.
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of a protein reverse transcriptase (TERT) and an RNA subunit (TR). Telomerase normally adds telomeric DNA repeats to chromosome ends. Here, we engineer human and Tetrahymena cis-telomerase RNAs, each having a DNA primer covalently linked to its 3' end. We find that cis-telomerase synthesizes DNA with increased repeat addition processivity (RA...
متن کاملIntermediate filament transcription in astrocytes is repressed by proteasome inhibition.
Increased expression of the astrocytic intermediate filament protein glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a characteristic of astrogliosis. This process occurs in the brain during aging and neurodegeneration and coincides with impairment of the ubiquitin proteasome system. Inhibition of the proteasome impairs protein degradation; therefore, we hypothesized that the increase in GFAP may be ...
