MicroRNA maturation: stepwise processing and subcellular localization.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a novel, phylogenetically extensive family of small RNAs ( approximately 22 nucleotides) with potential roles in gene regulation. Apart from the finding that miRNAs are produced by Dicer from the precursors of approximately 70 nucleotides (pre-miRNAs), little is known about miRNA biogenesis. Some miRNA genes have been found in close conjunction, suggesting that the...
متن کاملRegulation of mammalian microRNA processing and function by cellular signaling and subcellular localization.
For many microRNAs, in many normal tissues and in cancer cells, the cellular levels of mature microRNAs are not simply determined by transcription of microRNA genes. This mini-review will discuss how microRNA biogenesis and function can be regulated by various nuclear and cytoplasmic processing events, including emerging evidence that microRNA pathway components can be selectively regulated by ...
متن کاملThe protein domains of the Dictyostelium microprocessor that are required for correct subcellular localization and for microRNA maturation
The maturation pathways of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been delineated for plants and several animals, belonging to the evolutionary supergroups of Archaeplastida and Opisthokonta, respectively. Recently, we reported the discovery of the microprocessor complex in Dictyostelium discoideum of the Amoebozoa supergroup. The complex is composed of the Dicer DrnB and the dsRBD (double-stranded RNA bindin...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of the Epstein-Barr Virus BGLF2 Gene, its Expression, and Subcellular Localization
Background: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a universal herpes virus which can cause a life-long and largely asymptomatic infection in the human population. However, the exact pathogenesis of the EBV infection is not well known.Objective: A comprehensive bioinformatics prediction was carried out for investigating the molecular properties of the BGLF2 and to a...
متن کاملAltered subcellular and submitochondrial localization
The subcellular and submitochondrial localization of CTP:phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase is altered in the Morris 7777 hepatoma. Mitochondria in this poorly differentiated tumor are the principal sites of CDP-diacylglycerol synthesis, in contrast to normal rat liver where the endoplasmic reticulum is most active. This enzyme activity was increased 1 7-fold in the outer mitochondrial membrane...
