Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
“The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred back from protein to either protein or nucleic acid.”

FACTS:
• Less than 2% of the human genome encodes
proteins
•The bulk of transcriptional products consists of small
and long RNAs with very reduced coding potential
most eukaryotic transcribed DNA is non-coding
• C-value paradox
genome size does
not correlate with
organismal
complexity
• Gene-value
paradox;
relationship between
morphological
complexity and the
number of protein-
coding genes within
a genome
• simplistic
expectation +
contradictory data
= “paradox”
• The number of human genes is about the same as the
number required to specify a C. elegans
• The secret of evolution lies in gene regulation

• Main observations:
• Intronic transcripts
• Intergenic RNAs
• Antisense and overlapping transcription
• Concept of “transcribed dark matter”, i.e. transcripts with
unknown function and meaning
• Tests of function that depend on gene knockout or overexpression
only work for a fraction even of known protein-coding genes. Need to

lncRNA Mechanisms can be described according to four, not mutually exclusive, archetypes:
• As signals
• As decoys
• As guides
• As scaffolds
lncRNAs Molecular Mechanisms

lncRNAs can serve as molecular signals, because
transcription of individual lncRNAs occurs at a very specific
time and place to integrate developmental cues, interpret
cellular context, or respond to diverse stimuli.
the lncRNAs in this archetype can act as markers of functionally significant biological events.

Glucocorticoid Resistance:-
GAS5 lncRNA make a hairpin loop like structure which make a motif which
similar to DNA motif of that promoter region so it can compete for hormone
to bind as they can act as molecular decoy.

• lncRNA is the guide—RNA binds protein(s), then directs the
localization of ribonucleoprotein complex to specific targets.
• lncRNAs can guide changes in gene expression either in
cis (on neighboring genes) or in trans (distantly located
genes) in a manner that is not easily predicted based on
lncRNA sequence.

The gene regulatory components brought on by the lncRNAs include both
repressive (e.g., polycomb) and activating (MLL) complexes, as well as
transcription factors (TFIIB). However, no matter the distance or mechanism
(either cis or trans), the principle remains the same: to convey regulatory
information across an intervening stretch of DNA to control target gene expression, bringing about changes in the epigenome.
lncRNAs As Guides

lncRNAs As Scaffolds
•They act as scaffolds, lncRNAs can
bring together multiple proteins to form
ribonucleoprotein complexes.
• The lncRNA-RNP may act on
chromatin as to affect histone
modifications.
•LncRNAs can serve as central platforms

•Telomerase catalytic activity requires the association of two universal telomerase
subunits: an integral RNA subunit, the telomerase RNA (TERC) that provides the
template for repeat synthesis, and a catalytic protein subunit, the TERT, as well as
several species-specific accessory proteins. The TERC in particular also possesses
structures that contribute to TERT binding and catalytic activity, in addition to those that
play major roles in stability of the complex.
• Thus, the primary functional role for TERC is to be a scaffold

lncRNAs In Diabetes
GWAS studies of type – 2 diabetes and related diseases has revealed >50 susceptibility
loci, most of which are not known to carry variations that alter protein coding sequence.
Such variants affect lncRNAs
There are >1100 intergenic and antisense islet cell lncRNAs found in human islet and beta
cell .
lncRNAs are an integral component of dynamic beta cell-specific differentiation.
HI-LNC25(beta cell specific lncRNA) positively regulates GLIS3 mRNA(encodes an islet

signals, as decoys.These non-coding RNA play significant role in pathogenesis of several
complex diseases. LncRNA can thus serve as an important biomarker for early detection of
disease, or also can serve as a therapeutic target.
