Abstract

In addition to mRNA, rRNA and tRNA, which play central roles within cells, there are a number of regulatory, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Of varying lengths, ncRNAs have no long open reading frame. While not encoding proteins, they may act as riboregulators, and their main function is posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Many ncRNAs have been identified and characterized both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in the specific recognition of cellular nucleic acid targets through complementary base pairing, controlling cell growth and differentiation. Some are associated with the abnormalities in imprinted inheritance that occur in several well-known developmental and neurobehavioral disorders. Other ncRNAs accomplish regulation by modulating the activity of proteins. Several rRNAs are able to sustain enzymatic reactions implicated in the translation process including synthesis of peptide bonds within the ribosome. The different roles played by widely distributed RNAs acting in diverse ways, suggest the flexibility and versality of these molecules in regulatory processes. This review summarizes the available biochemical and structural data on known regulatory RNAs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 26. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 October 2020.
All research outputs
#1,449,739
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
#139
of 5,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,005
of 41,874 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
#2
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,877 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 41,874 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
