lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.1K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

15.1K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Types of RNA

16.2K
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 regulating 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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Subcellular RNA localization is common in Drosophila, with most messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs showing specific locations throughout development. This widespread localization is crucial for gene function.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Previous studies revealed 70% of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) localize in early Drosophila embryos.
  • The prevalence and patterns of RNA localization in later developmental stages remained largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and diversity of subcellular RNA localization across the entire Drosophila embryogenesis.
  • To examine RNA localization in larval tissues and assess long noncoding RNA localization.

Main Methods:

  • Whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization was used to analyze approximately 8000 transcripts during Drosophila embryogenesis.
  • Analysis was extended to ~800 transcripts in late third instar larval tissues.
  • Localization of over 100 long noncoding RNAs was also investigated.

Main Results:

  • Subcellular localization was observed in virtually all transcripts examined in late third instar larval tissues.
  • A striking number and variety of new subcellular localization patterns were identified.
  • All examined long noncoding RNAs were found to be expressed and subcellularly localized.

Conclusions:

  • Subcellular RNA localization is the norm, not the exception, for both coding and noncoding RNAs in Drosophila.
  • The findings provide a comprehensive resource for functional gene analysis.
  • Widespread RNA localization suggests critical roles in cellular processes and development.
