  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. 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.

  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.

  6. Argonaute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonaute

    It is regulated by miRNA itself. AGO4 does not involve in RNAi directed RNA degradation, but in DNA methylation and other epigenetic regulation, through small RNA (smRNA) pathway. AGO10 is involved in plant development. AGO7 has a function distinct from AGO 1 and 10, and is not found in gene silencing induced by transgenes.

  7. Small nucleolar RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_nucleolar_RNA

    An unusual guide snoRNA U85 that functions in both 2′-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation of small nuclear RNA (snRNA) U5 has been identified. [14] This composite snoRNA contains both C/D and H/ACA box domains and associates with the proteins specific to each class of snoRNA (fibrillarin and Gar1p, respectively).

  8. let-7 microRNA family - Wikipedia

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

    The Let-7 microRNA precursor gives rise to let-7, a microRNA (miRNA) involved in control of stem-cell division and differentiation. [ 1 ] let-7 , short for "lethal-7", was discovered along with the miRNA lin-4 in a study of developmental timing in C. elegans , [ 2 ] making these miRNAs the first ever discovered.

  9. Dicer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicer

    Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene.Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively.
