摘要
Recently, it has been shown that tRNA molecules can be processed into small RNAs that are derived from both the 5 and 3 termini. To date, the function of these tRNA fragments (tRFs) derived from the 5 end of tRNA has not been investigated in depth. We present evidence that conserved residues in tRNA, present in all 5 tRFs, can inhibit the process of protein translation without the need for complementary target sites in the mRNA. These results implicate 5 tRFs in a new mechanism of gene regulation by small RNAs in human cells.
