Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) has been shown to regulate diverse cellular processes and functions through controlling gene expression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) where microRNAs (miRNAs) and lncRNAs regulate each other through their biding sites. Interactions of miRNAs and lncRNAs have been reported to trigger decay of the targeted lncRNAs and have important roles in target gene regulation. These interactions form complicated and intertwined networks. Certain lncRNAs encode miRNAs and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and may regulate expression of these small RNAs as precursors. SnoRNAs have also been reported to be precursors for PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and thus may regulate the piRNAs as a precursor. These miRNAs and piRNAs target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate gene expression. In this review, we will present and discuss these interactions, cross-talk, and co-regulation of ncRNAs and gene regulation due to these interactions. 相似文献

Evidence that miRNAs are different from other RNAs 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

An examination of 513 known pre-miRNAs and 237 other RNAs (tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA) revealed that miRNAs were significantly different
from other RNAs (p < 0.001). miRNA genes were less conserved than other RNA genes, although their mature miRNA sequences were
highly conserved. The A+U content of pre-miRNAs was higher than non-coding RNA (p < 0.001), but lower than mRNAs. The nucleotides
in pre-miRNAs formed more hydrogen bonds and base pairs than in other RNAs. miRNAs had higher negative adjusted minimal folding
free energies than other RNAs except tRNAs (p < 0.001). The MFE index (MFEI) was a sufficient criterion to distinguish miRNAs
from all coding and non-coding RNAs (p < 0.001). The MFEI for miRNAs was 0.97, significantly higher than tRNAs (0.64), rRNAs
(0.59), or mRNAs (0.65). Our findings should facilitate the prediction and identification of new miRNAs using computational
and experimental strategies.

Novel features in the tRNA-like world of plant viral RNAs 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

tRNA-like domains are found at the 3' end of genomic RNAs of several genera of plant viral RNAs. Three groups of tRNA mimics have been characterized on the basis of their aminoacylation identity (valine, histidine and tyrosine) for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Folding of these domains deviates from the canonical tRNA cloverleaf. The closest sequence similarities with tRNA are those found in valine accepting structures from tymoviruses (e.g. TYMV). All the viral tRNA mimics present a pseudoknotted amino acid accepting stem, which confers special structural and functional characteristics. In this review emphasis is given to newly discovered tRNA-like structures (e.g. in furoviruses) and to recent advances in the understanding of their three-dimensional architecture, which mimics L-shaped tRNA. Identity determinants in tRNA-like domains for aminoacylation are described, and evidence for their functional expression, as in tRNAs, is given. Properties of engineered tRNA-like domains are discussed, and other functional mimicries with tRNA are described (e.g. interaction with elongation factors and tRNA maturation enzymes). A final section reviews the biological role of the tRNA-like domains in amplification of viral genomes. In this process, in which the mechanisms can vary in specificity and efficiency according to the viral genus, function can be dependent on the aminoacylation properties of the tRNA-like domains and/or on structural properties within or outside these domains. 相似文献

During the last decade, RNA molecules with regulatory functions on gene expression have benefited from a renewed interest.
In bacteria, recent high throughput computational and experimental approaches have led to the discovery that 10–20% of all
genes code for RNAs with critical regulatory roles in metabolic, physiological and pathogenic processes. The trans-acting RNAs comprise the noncoding RNAs, RNAs with a short open reading frame and antisense RNAs. Many of these RNAs act
through binding to their target mRNAs while others modulate protein activity or target DNA. The cis-acting RNAs include regulatory regions of mRNAs that can respond to various signals. These RNAs often provide the missing
link between sensing changing conditions in the environment and fine-tuning the subsequent biological responses. Information
on their various functions and modes of action has been well documented for gram-negative bacteria. Here, we summarize the
current knowledge of regulatory RNAs in gram-positive bacteria. 相似文献

Loss of functional cardiomyocytes is a major underlying mechanism for myocardial remodeling and heart diseases, due to the limited regenerative capacity of adult myocardium. Apoptosis, programmed necrosis, and autophagy contribute to loss of cardiac myocytes that control the balance of cardiac cell death and cell survival through multiple intricate signaling pathways. In recent years, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have received much attention to uncover their roles in cell death of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure. In addition, based on the view that mitochondrial morphology is linked to three types of cell death, ncRNAs are able to regulate mitochondrial fission/fusion of cardiomyocytes by targeting genes involved in cell death pathways. This review focuses on recent progress regarding the complex relationship between apoptosis/necrosis/autophagy and ncRNAs in the context of myocardial cell death in response to stress. This review also provides insight into the treatment for heart diseases that will guide novel therapies in the future. 相似文献
