Long noncoding RNAs: an emerging link between gene regulation and nuclear organization.

Mammalian genomes encode thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that play important roles in diverse biological processes. As a class, lncRNAs are generally enriched in the nucleus and, specifically, within the chromatin-associated fraction. Consistent with their localization, many lncRNAs have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression and in shaping 3D nuclear organization. In t...

SRSF1 regulates the assembly of pre-mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles

The mammalian cell nucleus is compartmentalized into nonmembranous subnuclear domains that regulate key nuclear functions. Nuclear speckles are subnuclear domains that contain pre-mRNA processing factors and noncoding RNAs. Many of the nuclear speckle constituents work in concert to coordinate multiple steps of gene expression, including transcription, pre-mRNA processing and mRNA transport. Th...

Small RNA-mediated regulation of DNA dosage in the ciliate Oxytricha.

Dicer-dependent small noncoding RNAs play important roles in gene regulation in a wide variety of organisms. Endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are part of an ancient pathway of transposon control in plants and animals. The ciliate, Oxytricha trifallax, has approximately 16,000 gene-sized chromosomes in its somatic nucleus. Long noncoding RNAs establish high ploidy levels at the onset o...

Association between Long Noncoding RNA ANRIL Expression Variants and Susceptibility to Coronary Artery Disease

Animal cells possess thousands of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, such as antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) , which have regulatory roles in the cells’ molecular mechanisms, including X-chromosome inactivation, and developmental processes.  These lnc RNAs are known to influence the extensive spectrum of age-related disorders. Accordingly, there is evidence for the role of...

Functions of long noncoding RNAs in the nucleus.

Nucleus is the residence and place of work for a plethora of long noncoding RNAs. Here, we provide a summary of the functions and functional mechanisms of several relatively well studied examples of nuclear long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the nucleus, such as Xist, NEAT1, MALAT1 and TERRA. The recently identified novel EIciRNA is also highlighted. These nuclear lncRNAs play a variety of roles ...
