Regulatory RNAs

Cells produce several types of RNA

REGULATION BY RNAs IN BACTERIA Activation and repression of translation by sRNAs (bacterial small RNAs)

Ribo-switches reside within the transcripts of genes whose expression they control through changes in secondary structure Organization of riboswitch RNAs

The aptamer binds small molecules -> conformation changes -> conformation changes of expression platform -> termination of transcription or inhibition of translation initiation Two examples of a SAM (S-Adenosylmethionine) sensing riboswitch

Changes in secondary structure of a SAM-sensing riboswitch

Riboswitches respond to a range of metabolites

RNA INTERFERENCE IS A MAJOR REGULATORY MECHANISM IN EUKARYOTES Short RNAs that silence genes are produced from a variety of sources and direct the silencing of genes in three different ways RNA interference (RNA i) Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) microRNAs (miRNAs) RNA Inducing Silencing Complex (RISC)

SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTION OF mi RNA MOLECULES mi RNAs have a characteristic structure that assists in identifying them and their target genes Structure of some pre-miRNAs prior to processing to generate the mature miRNAs

miRNAs are coded in both introns and exons in RNA

An active miRNA is generated through a two-step nucleolytic processing

Recognition and cleavage of pri- miRNA

Dicer is the second RNA-cleavage enzyme involved in miRNA production

Incorporation of a guide strand RNA into RISC makes the mature complex that is ready to silence gene expression

Mature RISC

Argonaute structure, showing RNA binding and RNase domain

Si RNAs are regulatory RNAs generated from long double- stranded RNAs

Small RNAs can transcriptionally silence genes by directing chromatin modification RITS: RNA induced transcription silencing

THE EVOLUTION AND EXPLOITATION OF RNAi Did RNAi evolve as an immune system?

RNAi has become a powerful tool for manipulating gene expression sh RNA: short hairpin RNA genes (like miRNA)

Dominant negative mutations created by RNA interference. (A) Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can be introduced into C. elegans (1) by feeding the worms with E. coli expressing the dsRNA or (2) by injecting dsRNA directly into the gut. (B) Wild-type worm embryo. (C) Worm embryo in which a gene involved in cell division has been inactivated by RNAi. The embryo shows abnormal migration of the two unfused nuclei of the egg and sperm. (B, C, from P. Gönczy et al., Nature 408:331–336, 2000

REGULATORY RNAS AND X-INACTIVATION X-inactivation creates mosaic individuals (calico cat)

Chromosome wide alterations in chromatin structure can be inherited (dosage compensation) X-inactivation

Mammalian X-chromosome inactivation XIST: X-inactivation Specific transcript XIC: x-inactivation center Xist is an RNA regulator that inactivates a single X chromosome in female mammals
