Cytoplasmic long noncoding RNAs are frequently bound to and degraded at ribosomes in human cells

lncRNA

Recent footprinting studies have made the surprising observation that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) physically interact with ribosomes. However, these findings remain controversial, and the overall proportion of cytoplasmic lncRNAs involved is unknown. Here researchers at the IMIM, Barcelona make a global, absolute estimate of the cytoplasmic and ribosome-associated population of stringently filtered lncRNAs in a human cell line using polysome ...
