Regulation of microRNA function in animals

LFR Gebert, IJ MacRae - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2019 - nature.com
Since their serendipitous discovery in nematodes, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as
key regulators of biological processes in animals. These small RNAs form complex networks …

A ubiquitin ligase mediates target-directed microRNA decay independently of tailing and trimming

J Han, CA LaVigne, BT Jones, H Zhang, F Gillett… - Science, 2020 - science.org
INTRODUCTION MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of highly conserved small regulatory
RNAs. After loading into Argonaute (AGO) proteins, miRNAs promote the degradation and …

[HTML][HTML] A network of noncoding regulatory RNAs acts in the mammalian brain

B Kleaveland, CY Shi, J Stefano, DP Bartel - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play increasingly appreciated gene-regulatory roles. Here, we
describe a regulatory network centered on four ncRNAs—a long ncRNA, a circular RNA …

Endogenous microRNA sponges: evidence and controversy

DW Thomson, ME Dinger - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2016 - nature.com
The competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis proposes that transcripts with
shared microRNA (miRNA) binding sites compete for post-transcriptional control. This …

Small and long non-coding RNAs: Past, present, and future

LL Chen, VN Kim - Cell, 2024 - cell.com
Since the introduction of the central dogma of molecular biology in 1958, various RNA
species have been discovered. Messenger RNAs transmit genetic instructions from DNA to …

Regulation of microRNA biogenesis

M Ha, VN Kim - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2014 - nature.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as guide molecules in RNA
silencing. Targeting most protein-coding transcripts, miRNAs are involved in nearly all …

miRNA targeting: growing beyond the seed

LB Chipman, AE Pasquinelli - Trends in genetics, 2019 - cell.com
miRNAs are small RNAs that guide Argonaute proteins to specific target mRNAs to repress
their translation and stability. Canonically, miRNA targeting is reliant on base pairing of the …

Structural basis for target-directed microRNA degradation

J Sheu-Gruttadauria, P Pawlica, SM Klum, S Wang… - Molecular cell, 2019 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) broadly regulate gene expression through association with Argonaute
(Ago), which also protects miRNAs from degradation. However, miRNA stability is known to …
