The REM phase of gene regulation

Hentze, Matthias W., Preiss, Thomas·2010·Trends in Biochemical Sciences

Abstract

'Classic' enzymes carry out the housekeeping functions of intermediary metabolism. The past decades have seen a steady trickle of reports of several of these enzymes 'moonlighting' as RNA-binding proteins. Although evidence for a physiological role for RNA binding is strong in a few individual examples, no systematic concept has been proposed for the overall phenomenon. We suggest that these diverse observations might herald the existence of currently hidden post-transcriptional regulatory networks between intermediary metabolism and gene expression based on RNA, enzyme and metabolite interactions. We briefly summarize the evidence in support of such networks and discuss how current approaches can be employed for systematic analyses and integration into our understanding of cellular biology, given the technical and conceptual advances of the 'omics' age.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Changes in metabolism can be linked to changes in gene expression through posttranscriptional regulatory networks involving RNA, metabolites, and metabolic enzymes 'moonlighting' as RNA binding proteins and regulating specific target mRNAs.

    “A transformative conceptual change in the way we consider metabolism within cells is that changes in metabolism can be linked to changes in gene expression through posttranscriptional regulatory networks involving RNA, metabolites, and metabolic enzymes “moonlighting” as RNA binding proteins and regulating specific target mRNAs (104) (Fig. 5).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
