In this issue of Molecular Cell, Mariner et al. (2008) demonstrate that Alu RNA from a human SINE represses RNA polymerase II transcription during heat shock. This noncoding RNA is the first example of a "protein-like" transcription factor with a distinct modular architecture.
在本期《分子细胞》杂志中，马里纳等人（2008年）证明，来自人类短散在核元件（SINE）的Alu RNA在热休克期间会抑制RNA聚合酶II转录。这种非编码RNA是具有独特模块化结构的“类蛋白质”转录因子的首个实例。
