lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
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...

What is Gene Expression?

196.9K
Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

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...

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...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

14.9K
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,...

Summary

Small non-coding RNAs (small ncRNAs) show stable expression during anoxia across diverse vertebrates, suggesting species-specific pathways, not a conserved response, enable extreme anoxia tolerance.

Area of Science:

  • Comparative genomics
  • Molecular biology
  • Evolutionary biology

Background:

  • Extreme anoxia tolerance necessitates metabolic depression, potentially regulated by small non-coding RNAs (small ncRNAs).
  • Previous studies identified specific small ncRNA patterns in the anoxia-tolerant killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus embryos.
  • Investigating small ncRNAs in other anoxia-tolerant vertebrates can reveal evolutionary mechanisms of anoxia tolerance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comparatively analyze small ncRNA presence and expression in anoxia-tolerant vertebrates.
  • To understand the evolutionary basis and molecular mechanisms of extreme anoxia tolerance.
  • To explore the role of small ncRNAs in vertebrate anoxia survival.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative sequencing of small ncRNAs from brain tissue of epaulette shark, crucian carp, western painted turtle, and leopard frog.
  • Exposure of these species to anoxia and recovery periods.
  • Analysis of small ncRNA expression profiles under normoxic, anoxic, and recovery conditions.

Main Results:

  • Small ncRNA profiles were largely conserved across species under normoxia and anoxia.
  • Differentially expressed genes in response to anoxia were mostly species-specific.
  • Mitochondria-derived small ncRNAs (mitosRNAs), responsive in killifish, showed no robust anoxic response in other species.

Conclusions:

  • The small ncRNA transcriptome appears stabilized during anoxic stress in these vertebrates.
  • No conserved small ncRNA response was identified, suggesting divergent evolutionary strategies for anoxia tolerance.
  • Multiple small ncRNA pathways may contribute to anoxia tolerance and hypometabolism.
