TLDR
Dwarf open reading frame (DWORF) is the only endogenous peptide known to activate the SERCA pump by physical interaction and provides a means for enhancing muscle contractility.Abstract:
Muscle contraction depends on release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and reuptake by the Ca2+adenosine triphosphatase SERCA. We discovered a putative muscle-specific long noncoding RNA that encodes a peptide of 34 amino acids and that we named dwarf open reading frame (DWORF). DWORF localizes to the SR membrane, where it enhances SERCA activity by displacing the SERCA inhibitors, phospholamban, sarcolipin, and myoregulin. In mice, overexpression of DWORF in cardiomyocytes increases peak Ca2+ transient amplitude and SR Ca2+ load while reducing the time constant of cytosolic Ca2+ decay during each cycle of contraction-relaxation. Conversely, slow skeletal muscle lacking DWORF exhibits delayed Ca2+ clearance and relaxation and reduced SERCA activity. DWORF is the only endogenous peptide known to activate the SERCA pump by physical interaction and provides a means for enhancing muscle contractility.read more

Cellular functions of long noncoding RNAs.
TL;DR: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in gene expression networks by controlling nuclear architecture and transcription in the nucleus and by modulating mRNA stability, translation and post-translational modifications in the cytoplasm as mentioned in this paper.

The functions and unique features of long intergenic non-coding RNA.
TL;DR: Long intergenic non-coding RNA genes have diverse features that distinguish them from mRNA-encoding genes and exercise functions such as remodelling chromatin and genome architecture, RNA stabilization and transcription regulation, including enhancer-associated activity.

Predicting transmembrane protein topology with a hidden Markov model: application to complete genomes
TL;DR: A new membrane protein topology prediction method, TMHMM, based on a hidden Markov model is described and validated, and it is discovered that proteins with N(in)-C(in) topologies are strongly preferred in all examined organisms, except Caenorhabditis elegans, where the large number of 7TM receptors increases the counts for N(out)-C-in topologies.
