Regulation of target gene expression by chromatin-associated protein-coding transcripts in plants · L. Han et al.
原文开头
Lu Han†, Yuxiang Yuan†, Yujie Liu, Yan Li, Yijun Qi* INTRODUCTION: Eukaryotic genomes undergo pervasive transcription, generating a diverse repertoire of cellular RNAs, including protein-coding messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and noncoding RNAs. Noncoding RNAs are well-recognized to orchestrate transcriptional programs through chromatin association. By contrast, protein-coding mRNAs have long been viewed solely as informational intermediaries that relay genetic sequence from DNA to functional proteins. Whether mRNAs possess intrinsic regulatory activities independently of their encoded protein products remains poorly defined. RATIONALE: Genome-wide profiling of RNA–chromatin interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana has uncovered that numerous protein-coding transcripts bind to distal genomic loci outside their own transcription units. …
