The Design of Antisense RNA

Antisense and Nucleic Acid Drug Development, 1997
Antisense nucleic acids comprise short-chain synthetic oligonucleotides, often oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODN) of less than approximately 30 nucleotides and substantially longer sequences formed by ribonucleic acids (RNA). Both groups differ with respect to several properties, including their generation, the mode of delivery, and their structure ...

Antisense RNA.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1992
Antisense RNA was first an in vitro curiosity that was found to shut off protein synthesis in cell-free extracts. It was later shown to function in prokaryotic cells as a natural modulator of the synthesis of some proteins. Artificial antisense constructs can inhibit protein synthesis in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Antisense Rnas And Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenomics, 2010
Antisense RNA is the first noncoding RNA found to have a regulatory function. With the advances of biological science, it has been recognized that the function of antisense RNAs is not only limited to post-transcriptional regulation, but extends to transcriptional regulation of various important genes leading to epigenetic changes in DNA methylation ...

As Antisense RNA Gets Intronic

OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology, 2005
Recent work describing the transcriptional output of the human genome points to the existence of a significant number of non-coding RNA transcripts coming from intronic regions, with a fraction of these being oriented antisense relative to the protein-coding mRNA of the known gene.

Antisense in Abundance: The Ribosome as a Vehicle for Antisense RNA

1998
Insertions at some sites within rRNA variable regions can be tolerated without affecting rRNA function. Antisense RNAs inserted at such sites in the T. thermophila rRNA can eliminate phenotypically or immunologically detectable gene expression of three genes tested. This unusually effective antisense activity is probably due to the abundance, stability

Antisense RNAs everywhere?

Trends in Genetics, 2002
In recent years, systematic searches of both prokaryote and eukaryote genomes have identified a staggering number of small RNAs, the biological functions of which remain unknown. Small RNA-based regulators are well known from bacterial plasmids. They act on target RNAs by sequence complementarity; that is, they are antisense RNAs.

RNA–RNA Interaction Prediction and Antisense RNA Target Search

Journal of Computational Biology, 2005
Recent studies demonstrating the existence of special noncoding "antisense" RNAs used in post transcriptional gene regulation have received considerable attention. These RNAs are synthesized naturally to control gene expression in C. elegans, Drosophila, and other organisms; they are known to regulate plasmid copy numbers in E. coli as well. Small RNAs

Antisense-RNA regulation and RNA interference

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 2002
For a long time, RNA has been merely regarded as a molecule that can either function as a messenger (mRNA) or as part of the translational machinery (tRNA, rRNA). Meanwhile, it became clear that RNAs are versatile molecules that do not only play key roles in many important biological processes like splicing, editing, protein export and others, but can ...
