Abstract
ABSTRACTThe survival of all organisms is dependent on complex, coordinated responses to environmental cues. Non-coding RNAs have been identified as major players in regulation of gene expression, with recent evidence supporting roles for long non-coding (lnc)RNAs in both transcriptional and post-transcriptional control. Evidence from our laboratory shows that lncRNAs have the ability to form hybridized structures called R-loops with specific DNA target sequences in S. cerevisiae, thereby modulating gene expression. In this Point of View, we provide an overview of the nature of lncRNA-mediated control of gene expression in the context of our studies using the GAL gene cluster as a model for controlling the timing of transcription.
