  2. microRNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroRNA

    miRNA biogenesis in plants differs from animal biogenesis mainly in the steps of nuclear processing and export. Instead of being cleaved by two different enzymes, once inside and once outside the nucleus, both cleavages of the plant miRNA are performed by a Dicer homolog, called Dicer-like1 (DL1). DL1 is expressed only in the nucleus of plant ...

  3. mir-92 microRNA precursor family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir-92_microRNA_precursor...

    An miRNA that remains constant in its expression through these stages is proposed to have a role in regulating general aspects of cell physiology. [8] Thus it was becoming evident in 2003 shortly after its discovery, that the mir-92 miRNA and associated family members are providing functional roles to the cell cycle and to cell signalling, and ...

  4. Drosha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosha

    These two proteins homeostatically control miRNA biogenesis by an auto-feedback loop. [16] A 2nt 3' overhang is generated by Drosha in the nucleus recognized by Dicer in the cytoplasm, which couples the upstream and downstream processing events. Pre-miRNA is then further processed by the RNase Dicer into mature miRNAs in the cell cytoplasm.

  5. IsomiR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IsomiR

    However, the advent of deep sequencing has now allowed researchers to detect a huge variability in miRNA biogenesis, meaning that from the same miRNA precursor many different sequences can be generated potentially have different targets, [3] [4] [5] or even lead to opposite changes in mRNA expression.

  6. mir-10 microRNA precursor family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir-10_microRNA_precursor...

    A miRNA can be derived from each arm of the pre-miRNA hairpin. Historically, the least common of these two miRNA products was denoted by the addition of * to the miRNA name, however the modern convention is to denote mature miRNA products as 5p or 3p. [11] Both mir-10 and mir-10* have been detected in Drosophila.

  7. RNA-induced silencing complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA-induced_silencing_complex

    The RNase III Dicer is a critical member of RISC that initiates the RNA interference process by producing double-stranded siRNA or single-stranded miRNA. Enzymatic cleavage of dsRNA within the cell produces the short siRNA fragments of 21-23 nucleotides in length with a two-nucleotide 3' overhang.

  9. let-7 microRNA family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let-7_microRNA_family

    The lethal-7 (let-7) gene was first discovered in the nematode C. elegans as a key developmental regulator and became one of the first two known microRNAs (the other one is lin-4). [8] Soon, let-7 was found in the fruit fly (Drosophila), and identified as the first known human miRNA by a BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) research. [9]
