Abstract:
Filamentous fungi are important industrial microorganisms. The focus on its metabolic engineering is to optimize the metabolic pathway with gene expression regulation technology to meet with the industrial production needs. Antisense RNA technology due to its simplicity compared with the gene knock-out technology has great perspectives in filamentous fungal metabolic control. It is an efficient method for regulating gene expression and a key tool for metabolic engineering. In this article, we addressed the mechanism of antisense RNA technology and its applications in filamentous fungal metabolic engineering. Additionally, future perspectives were discussed.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
