很多动物可以产生具调节作用的小RNAs,根据产生方式和作用机制可以将它们分为三类:微小RNAs(miRNAs)、与Piwi相互作用的RNAs(piRNAs)和内源小干扰RNAs(endo-siRNAs),这些小RNAs可以在生物生殖细胞发育过程中发挥重要作用。其中miRNAs的主要作用是调节蛋白质基因的表达;piRNAs主要的作用是沉默转座因子,但piRNAs主要存在于生殖细胞中;endo-siRNAs则可能具有上述两种主要作用。该文论述了这三种小RNAs在生物生殖细胞发育过程中的作用,同时也讨论了它们在治疗生物不育及其在生物节育方面的应用前景。 相似文献

在很多生物基因组中都存在DNA成分的转座序列,它们能够转座到基因组的很多位点,对基因组造成很大的危害,如破坏编码基因、改变基因表达的调节网络、使染色体断裂或造成大范围基因重排等。真核生物已经进化出了多种机制来控制这些寄生核酸序列造成的损伤,以维持基因组完整性。虽然这些机制在不同生物中有些差异,但其中一种主要的机制是通过小RNAs介导的,这些小RNAs包括小干扰RNAs、piwi相互作用的小RNAs、微小RNAs、扫描RNAs和21U-RNAs等。这些小RNAs可以通过DNA水平剪切转座序列,或在转录和(或)转录后水平沉默转座成分。该文就这些小RNAs沉默转座成分的机制和功能做一论述。 相似文献

小核仁RNAs(small nucleolarRNAs,snoRNAs)是一类发现较早且位于核仁内的小非编码RNAs,在核糖体RNAs(ribosomalRNAs,rRNAs)、信使RNAs(messengerRNAs,mRNAs)、小核RNAs(small nuclearRNAs,snRNAs)的成熟及修饰中均发挥重要作用。snoRNAs的功能及其作用途径一直以来均是学术界的研究热点。目前,snoRNAs对rRNAs的化学修饰作用已得到广泛认可。另外,有研究表明snoRNAs与一些遗传疾病以及肿瘤性疾病的发生发展存在密切关联。近年来研究发现,部分snoRNAs经切割可生成更小的、有功能的RNAs,即小核仁RNAs衍生RNAs(snoRNAs derivedRNAs,sdRNAs),这些sdRNAs中部分具有微小RNAs(microRNAs,miRNAs)的特征,可发挥类似miRNA的作用,这一发现极大地拓展了snoRNAs的作用机制方式。结合国内外研究现状,在总结snoRNAs的结构和基本功能的基础上对sdRNAs与miRNAs之间的相关性进行了综述,以期为后续的相关研究提供参考。 相似文献

逆境胁迫严重影响着全世界范围内的作物产量。为减少逆境胁迫损伤,植物在长期的进化过程中形成了多级别(转录、转录后和翻译、翻译后)的基因表达调控应答机制。最近研究发现,内源microRNA(miRNA)在植物逆境胁迫应答中具有重要的调节作用。在逆境胁迫发生时,一些miRNA会表达上调,而另一些miRNA会表达下调;miRNA正是通过下调胁迫应答过程的负调节子靶基因和上调胁迫应答过程中的正调节子靶基因,来执行生理调控功能。通过综述miRNA在植物逆境应答中的作用,以期全面的了解逆境胁迫调控网络。 相似文献

Small, non-coding RNAs are a distinct class of regulatory RNAs in plants and animals that control a variety of biological processes. In plants, several classes of small RNAs with specific sizes and dedicated functions have evolved through a series of pathways. The major classes of small RNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which differ in their biogenesis. miRNAs control the expression of cognate target genes by binding to reverse complementary sequences, resulting in cleavage or translational inhibition of the target RNAs. siRNAs have a similar structure, function, and biogenesis as miRNAs but are derived from long double-stranded RNAs and can often direct DNA methylation at target sequences. Besides their roles in growth and development and maintenance of genome integrity, small RNAs are also important components in plant stress responses. One way in which plants respond to environmental stress is by modifying their gene expression through the activity of small RNAs. Thus, understanding how small RNAs regulate gene expression will enable researchers to explore the role of small RNAs in biotic and abiotic stress responses. This review focuses on the regulatory roles of plant small RNAs in the adaptive response to stresses. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Plant gene regulation in response to abiotic stress. 相似文献

RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising gene regulatory approach in functional genomics that has significant impact on crop improvement which permits down-regulation in gene expression with greater precise manner without affecting the expression of other genes. RNAi mechanism is expedited by small molecules of interfering RNA to suppress a gene of interest effectively. RNAi has also been exploited in plants for resistance against pathogens, insect/pest, nematodes, and virus that cause significant economic losses. Keeping beside the significance in the genome integrity maintenance as well as growth and development, RNAi induced gene syntheses are vital in plant stress management. Modifying the genes by the interference of small RNAs is one of the ways through which plants react to the environmental stresses. Hence, investigating the role of small RNAs in regulating gene expression assists the researchers to explore the potentiality of small RNAs in abiotic and biotic stress management. This novel approach opens new avenues for crop improvement by developing disease resistant, abiotic or biotic stress tolerant, and high yielding elite varieties. 相似文献

Novel and stress-regulated microRNAs and other small RNAs from Arabidopsis 总被引:57,自引:0,他引:57 下载免费PDF全文
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that have recently emerged as important regulators of mRNA degradation, translational repression, and chromatin modification. In Arabidopsis thaliana, 43 miRNAs comprising 15 families have been reported thus far. In an attempt to identify novel and abiotic stress regulated miRNAs and siRNAs, we constructed a library of small RNAs from Arabidopsis seedlings exposed to dehydration, salinity, or cold stress or to the plant stress hormone abscisic acid. Sequencing of the library and subsequent analysis revealed 26 new miRNAs from 34 loci, forming 15 new families. Two of the new miRNAs from three loci are members of previously reported miR171 and miR319 families. Some of the miRNAs are preferentially expressed in specific tissues, and several are either upregulated or downregulated by abiotic stresses. Ten of the miRNAs are highly conserved in other plant species. Fifty-one potential targets with diverse function were predicted for the newly identified miRNAs based on sequence complementarity. In addition to miRNAs, we identified 102 other novel endogenous small RNAs in Arabidopsis. These findings suggest that a large number of miRNAs and other small regulatory RNAs are encoded by the Arabidopsis genome and that some of them may play important roles in plant responses to environmental stresses as well as in development and genome maintenance. 相似文献

Small RNAs play important roles in plant development, metabolism, signal transduction and responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses by affecting gene expression. Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is an important commercial crop in the world. To understand the regulatory mechanisms involving small RNAs in tea metabolism,
we constructed a small RNA (sRNA) library from its tea drink manufacturing tissue part i.e. topmost two leaves and a bud.
For the first time, we isolated and cloned six novel small RNAs candidates from tea. These were predicted to target 67 genes
responsible for various important plant functions. Isolated small RNAs were validated through expression analysis in young
leaf and old leaf during non-dormant and dormant growth phases of tea. Results suggest the probable role of isolated small
RNAs in development and seasonal variations of tea. 相似文献
