'Junk' RNA segments play role in protein production, cell stress response Study is first to show some tRNA introns affect gene expression.

Researchers at The Ohio State University showed that some introns attach to key sections of molecules that translate genetic information into proteins, causing them to degrade.

The abundance and stability of one fitRNA in cells experiencing oxidative stress provides a clue to their importance that the team will continue to pursue by exposing cells to heat stress, starvation and other challenging circumstances.

"Maybe cells use these little introns as negative regulators of gene expression," says Anita Hopper .
