For over half a century, tRNAs have been exclusively known as decoders of genomic information. However, recent reports evidenced that tRNA transcripts are also bearers of functional RNAs, which are able to execute various tasks through an array of mechanisms. Here, we succinctly review the diversity and functions of RNAs deriving from tRNA loci.
半个多世纪以来,tRNA一直被认为是基因组信息的唯一译码器。然而,最近的报道证明,tRNA转录本也是功能性RNA的载体,它们能够通过一系列机制执行各种任务。在这里,我们简要回顾了源自tRNA基因座的RNA的多样性和功能。
