Regulatory RNAs are essential components of the cellular machinery, playing critical roles in various biological processes. These RNAs, including noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), are involved in regulating gene expression, chromatin structure, transcription, and post-transcriptional modifications. They are categorized into various types, such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), each with distinct functions. Regulatory RNAs can influence cellular processes through structural changes and interactions with other RNA, DNA, and protein molecules. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have enabled a deeper understanding of regulatory RNAs, including their roles in disease and cellular signaling. This review discusses the structural dynamics, functional roles, and regulatory mechanisms of various types of regulatory RNAs, as well as their interactions with proteins and other RNA molecules. The review also highlights the importance of RNA modifications, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), and 2'-O-methylation, in regulating gene expression and cellular processes. Additionally, the review explores the interactions between regulatory RNAs and RNA-binding proteins, which are crucial for their functional roles in the cell. Overall, regulatory RNAs are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and are involved in various biological processes, including development, disease, and cellular signaling. Further research is needed to fully understand the complex roles of regulatory RNAs in the cell.Regulatory RNAs are essential components of the cellular machinery, playing critical roles in various biological processes.
