RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins02:36

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

11.1K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

RNA Interference01:23

RNA Interference

28.2K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

RNA Stability01:53

RNA Stability

35.8K
Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

60.7K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

9.9K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Immunology
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Hexim1 functions as a tumor suppressor and plays a role in innate immunity regulation.
  • Hexim1 was previously identified as a regulator of transcription dependent on non-coding RNA.
  • The precise mechanisms of Hexim1's regulatory functions require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interaction between 7SK RNA and Hexim1.
  • To elucidate the role of this interaction in the regulation of transcription.
  • To understand Hexim1's broader functions in transcription factor stability and binding.

Main Methods:

  • Biochemical assays to study RNA-protein interactions.
  • In vitro transcription assays.
  • Analysis of transcription factor stability and DNA binding.

Main Results:

  • 7SK RNA binds to Hexim1, converting it into an inhibitor of the positive transcription elongation factor (P-TEFb).
  • Hexim1 influences the stability of various transcription factor components.
  • Hexim1 facilitates the binding of transcription factors to their target DNA sequences.

Conclusions:

  • The binding of 7SK RNA to Hexim1 is a key regulatory mechanism for P-TEFb.
  • Hexim1 possesses multifaceted roles in gene regulation beyond P-TEFb inhibition, including stabilizing transcription factors and promoting their target binding.
  • These findings deepen the understanding of Hexim1's function in tumor suppression and innate immunity.
