PITAR interaction with TRIM28 mRNA, which encodes a p53 targeting E3 ubiquitin ligase, keeps p53 levels low for cancer cells to divide and attenuates the DNA damage response by p53.

The epigenetic regulation of adult muscle stem cell fate by lnc-Rewind relies on the RNA-mediated recruitment of G9a methyltransferase on the Wnt7b genomic locus.
Thousands of "noncoding" RNAs, 5' "untranslated" regions, and pseudogenes in humans are actually translated, and some of these are likely to express functional proteins.
Non-coding RNAs appear to be good candidates as biomarkers for predicting treatment response and therapeutics for sarcoma, their differential expression across tissues complicates their application.

The identification of a SUMO E3 ligase engaged in lncRNA transcription, subsequently leading to target-directed small RNA degradation, reveals an unexplored layer of regulatory mechanisms within small RNA-directed chromatin regulation.
