概括
在C. elegans中,小RNA控制了代际表观遗传沉默的持续时间. 一个新发现的反循环调节了这个持续时间,如果不再需要,就能忘记回应.
科学领域:
- 表观遗传学
- 分子生物学
- 遗传学
背景情况:
- 小RNAs促进了C. elegans的跨代表观遗传.
- 控制遗传RNAi沉默的持续时间和可逆性的机制尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 研究遗传性RNAi沉默的持续时间的机制.
- 确定调节C. elegans表观遗传效应的因素.
主要方法:
- 对C. elegans暴露于dsRNA
- 进行RNA测序分析.
- 在已识别的反途径中进行基因操纵.
主要成果:
- dsRNA暴露会触发一个反循环,其中基因特异性RNAi反应会影响非相关基因沉默的持续时间.
- dsRNA诱导的RNAi影响可遗传的内源性小RNA的产生,这反过来又调节了RNAi因素.
- 在这种反途径中调节基因会改变遗传性沉默的持续时间.
结论:
- 一个反机制积极控制跨代RNAi效应的持续时间.
- 这种主动控制允许适应性表观遗传,使环境变化时能够"忘记"祖先的反应.

01:29Translational Regulation
792
Translational regulation in prokaryotes ensures efficient protein synthesis by controlling ribosome access to mRNA. This regulation is mediated by secondary RNA structures, including translational riboswitches, RNA thermometers, and small RNAs (sRNAs), which respond to intracellular and environmental signals to modulate gene expression.Translational RiboswitchesRiboswitches in the leader region of mRNAs can regulate translation by altering the accessibility of the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence,...

02:42Transcription Attenuation in Prokaryotes
19.1K
Transcriptional attenuation occurs when RNA transcription is prematurely terminated due to the formation of a terminator mRNA hairpin structure. Bacteria use these hairpins to regulate the transcription process and control the synthesis of several amino acids including histidine, lysine, threonine, and phenylalanine. Transcription attenuation takes place in the non-coding regions of mRNA.
