Non-coding RNAs in the development and pathogenesis of eukaryotic microbes

Abstract: RNA has long been regarded as the important intermediary in the central dogma of gene expression. Recently, the importance of RNAs in the regulation of gene expression became evident with the identification and characterization of non-protein coding transcripts named noncoding RNA (ncRNA). The ncRNAs, small and long, are ubiquitously present in all three domains of life and are being recognized for their important roles in genome defense and development. Some of the ncRNAs have been associated with diseases an… Show more

“…Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play key roles in biological processes by regulating gene expression at various stages, including transcriptional, translational and epigenetic levels (Castel and Martienssen, ; Faghihi and Wahlestedt, ; Mercer et al ., ). Based on the sequence sizes, ncRNAs are classified into small ncRNAs (smRNAs) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) (Chacko and Lin, ). smRNAs include various categories of short RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and Piwi‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) (Ma et al ., ).…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Alternatively, in pathogens, these eukaryotic sRNAs play active part in development of offensive strategies and pathogenesis. 5,6 Interestingly, systemic intra cellular signal transformation by some sRNAs exhibit gene silencing inside cells and these signals can remarkably induce the particular phenomena in cells that are at a considerable long distance. 7 These mobile sRNAs have attracted the intentions of the researchers recently because they are thought to be involved in the cross kingdom host -microbe interactions.…”

“…Both miRNAs and siRNAs play a pivotal role in regulating and fine-tuning gene expression in diverse cellular processes such as development and growth, genome integrity, epigenetic inheritance, and cellular stress responses, including host immunity [1-4]. Similarly, sRNAs from eukaryotic plant pathogens, pests, and symbionts also play an important regulatory role in developmental processes and pathogenicity [3,5,6]. Remarkably, some sRNAs are mobile signals in plants that transmit gene silencing from cell to cell, or systemically over a long distance [7-10].…”

“…The most prominent example of cross-kingdom RNAi from a plant to its interacting microorganism is host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), a phenomenon in which a plant-produced RNAi signal triggers silencing of a pathogen gene [13,14]. Conversely, sRNAs produced by pathogens and parasites can also translocate into host cells and trigger gene silencing of host genes [5,11,12,15,16]. Advanced pathogens hijack the host RNAi pathways and suppress host immunity genes to facilitate infection [3,12].…”
