Abstract:
Abstract Chimeric RNAs are RNA transcripts containing sequences originating from multiple distinct genetic loci and can form through a variety of mechanisms such as DNA rearrangement, cis-splicing of adjacent genes, or RNA trans-splicing. Chimeras have long been known to be a hallmark of cancer and due to their unique properties are promising targets for precision medicine. Appropriately, fusion proteins transcribed from chimeras such as BCR-ABL1 and TPM3-NTRK1 have been shown to be effective targets. Due to these past successes, there exists an opportunity to identify new chimeras as therapeu

Summary Background: A chimeric transcript is a single RNA sequence which results from the transcription of two adjacent genes. Recent studies estimate that at least 4% of tandem human gene pairs may form chimeric transcripts. Affymetrix GeneChip data are used to study the expression patterns of tens of thousands of genes and the probe sequences used in these microarrays can potentially map to exotic RNA sequences such as chimeras.Results: We have studied human chimeras and investigated their expression patterns using large surveys of Affymetrix microarray data obtained from the Gene Expression

Abstract:
Deregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is a common feature of cancer, including Multiple Myeloma (MM). In our previous studies, we detected 11,495 and 40,511 previously non-annotated lncRNAs during normal humoral immune response and MM patient samples, respectively. These results support an important role for the lncRNAs transcriptome in this hematological malignancy. lncRNAs are genes that differ from coding genes in that they do not give rise to a protein. Nevertheless, lncRNA could undergo the same genetic alterations as coding genes. In this study, we hypothesize that lncRNAs can b

Abstract:
Transcription of transposable elements interspersed in the genome is controlled by complex interactions between their regulatory elements and host factors. However, the same regulatory elements may be occasionally used for the transcription of host genes. One such example is the human L1 retrotransposon, which contains an antisense promoter (ASP) driving transcription into adjacent genes yielding chimeric transcripts. We have characterized 49 chimeric mRNAs corresponding to sense and antisense strands of human genes. Here we show that L1 ASP is capable of functioning as an alternative promoter

Abstract:
ABSTRACT A tetracycline-regulated reporter system was used to investigate the regulation of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2) mRNA stability by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 signaling cascade. The stable β-globin mRNA was rendered unstable by insertion of the 2,500-nucleotide Cox-2 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR). The chimeric transcript was stabilized by a constitutively active form of MAPK kinase 6, an activator of p38. This stabilization was blocked by SB203580, an inhibitor of p38, and by two different dominant negative forms of MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK-2), a kinas

In oogenesis, both cyclin A RNA and a shorter form of the cyclin B transcript are seen in the cells of the germarium that are undergoing mitosis. The shorter cyclin B transcript alone is then detectable in the presumptive oocyte until stages 7–8 of oogenesis. Both cyclin A RNA and a longer form of the cyclin B RNA are then synthesised in the nurse cells during stages 9–11, to be deposited in the oocyte during stages 11

ABSTRACT The human cytidine deaminases APOBEC3G (hA3G) and APOBEC3F (hA3F) are intracellular antiretroviral factors that can hypermutate nascent reverse transcripts and inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Both enzymes have two cytidine deaminase motifs, although only the C-terminal motif is catalytic. Current models of APOBEC protein function imply editing is the principal mechanism of antiviral activity. In particular, hA3G is a more potent inhibitor of HIV-1 infectivity than hA3F and also induces a greater frequency of mutations in HIV-1 cDNA. We used hA3G
