Circular RNAs derived from MIR156D promote rice heading by repressing transcription elongation of pri-miR156d through R-loop formation - Nature Plants

This study uncovers a mechanism of rice heading regulation mediated by circular RNAs (ciMIR156Ds) derived from pri-miR156d that refine the aging-dependent expression of miR156 through R-loop formation.

The therapeutic potential of circular RNAs - Nature Reviews Genetics

Circular RNAs have gained attention for their stability, immunological advantages and regulatory functions, making them a promising modality in multiple therapies. This Review discusses the therapeutic prospects of circular RNA-based approaches and the emerging role of circular RNAs as biomarkers in disease.

"Analysis of nuclear circRNA-binding proteins reveals that interaction between IGF2BP1 & circRNA is enhanced by Ran-GTP. The formation of circRNA export complexes in the #nucleus is promoted by Ran-GTP through its interactions with exportin-2, #circRNA & IGF2BP1. Our findings demonstrate that adaptors such as IGF2BP1 that bind directly to circular RNAs recruit Ran-GTP & exportin-2 to export circRNAs in a mechanism..analogous to #protein export, rather than #mRNA export"

Nuclear export of circular RNA - Nature

Circular RNAs are exported from the nucleus by Ran-GTP, exportin-2 and IGF2BP1 in a mechanism analogous to protein export rather than mRNA export.
