摘要: 3'非翻译区(3'untranslated regions,3'UTR)是真核生物mRNA的组成部分之一,位于其3'最末端。3'UTR在真核生物基因表达的转录后调控中发挥重要作用,目前已知3'UTR调控mRNA的加尾、稳定性、翻译效率及定位等。近年来,随着研究的深入及多种组学技术的出现和使用,人们发现3'UTR还具有许多意想不到的功能。本文综述了近年来真核生物3'UTR的新功能及其作用机制的研究进展,并提出了未来3'UTR的研究方向,以期为全面深入地研究真核生物基因功能及调控提供参考和借鉴。

Abstract: The 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) are a component of eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and located at their 3'-most ends. 3'UTRs play crucial roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, regulating cleavage and polyadenylation, mRNA stability, mRNA translation and localization. With deepening research of the 3'UTRs, and with advent of various omics methods, a few unexpected functions of the eukaryotic 3'UTRs have been uncovered. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the study of 3'UTRs and propose the future research directions for studying the roles and mechanisms of the 3'UTRs, with the aim to provide a better reference for comprehensively investigating gene function and regulation.

Key words: gene, 3'untranslated region (3'UTR), post-transcritional regulation, isolated 3'UTR (i3'UTR), protein multifunctionality
