RNA Stability01:53

RNA Stability

34.0K
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...

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression02:51

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression

5.8K
The structure and stability of mRNA molecules regulates gene expression, as mRNAs are a key step in the pathway from gene to protein. In eukaryotes, the half-life of mRNA varies from a few minutes up to several days. mRNA stability is essential in growth and development. The absence of the proteins regulating its stability, such as tristetraprolin in mice, can cause systemic issues, including bone marrow overgrowth, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

Pre-mRNA Processing: Modification of pre-mRNA Ends01:35

Pre-mRNA Processing: Modification of pre-mRNA Ends

10.6K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a cap to the 5' end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5' phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached (7-methyl guanosine). This 5' cap helps...

RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

9.2K
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...

pre-mRNA Processing

53.8K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay02:27

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay

10.9K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología molecular
  • Parasitología
  • Biología del ARN

Sus antecedentes:

  • La expresión génica en Trypanosoma brucei está regulada principalmente post-transcripcionalmente debido a su transcripción policistrónica.
  • La N6-metiladenosina (m6A) ha sido identificada en Trypanosoma brucei, pero su papel funcional no se comprende.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para investigar la función de la modificación del ARN m6A en el Trypanosoma brucei.
  • Identificar las transcripciones y los elementos regulatorios asociados con la modificación m6A.

Principales métodos:

  • Immunoprecipitación de ARN para identificar las transcripciones enriquecidas con m6A.
  • Análisis computacional para identificar los motivos de secuencia asociados con m6A.
  • Manipulación genética para evaluar el papel de los motivos identificados en la regulación m6A.

Principales resultados:

  • La modificación m6A está enriquecida en 342 transcripciones, incluidas las que codifican glicoproteínas de superficie variantes (VSG).
  • Aproximadamente el 50% de m6A se encuentra en la cola de transcripciones de VSG, eliminada antes de la degradación.
  • Un motivo de 16 meros en la región no traducida de 3' de los genes de VSG es esencial para la inclusión de m6A en la cola poli-A.

Conclusiones:

  • Este estudio identifica la modificación m6A dentro de la cola del ARNm eucariota, un nuevo mecanismo para la regulación genética post-transcripcional.
  • El motivo de 16 meros actúa como un elemento de acción cis que controla la incorporación de m6A y la posterior estabilidad del ARNm en Trypanosoma brucei.
