Differential regulation of mRNA stability modulates transcriptional memory and facilitates environmental adaptation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcriptional memory, by which cells respond faster to repeated stimuli, is key for cellular adaptation and organism survival. Factors related to chromatin organization and activation of transcription have been shown to play a role in the faster response of those cells previously exposed to a stimulus (primed). However, the contribution of post-transcriptional regulation is not yet explored. Here, we perform a genome-wide characterisation of this process and explore the contribution of the nuclear mRNA surveillance (RRP6) to this process. Using S. cerevisiae as a model organism, we investigate changes in mRNA abundance, mRNA stability and chromatin organization. Our results demonstrate that mRNA post-transcriptional regulation, and not only transcription regulation, should be considered when investigating gene expression memory.
