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.

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,...

  • Bifunctional RNAs, with both coding and noncoding functions, have been identified.
  • Genomic diversity of these Janus-faced RNA molecules necessitates a re-evaluation of RNA roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review major genomic sources of bifunctional RNAs.
  • To present examples of bifunctional RNAs and their functions.
  • To highlight the importance of revisiting RNA functional roles on a genome-wide scale.

Main Methods:

  • Computational approaches.
  • High-throughput experimental techniques.
  • Literature review of identified bifunctional RNAs.

Main Results:

  • Evidence for bifunctional RNAs from protein-coding mRNAs with noncoding isoforms.
