siRNAs can function as miRNAs.
With the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) and related phenomena, new regulatory roles attributed to RNA continue to emerge. Here we show, in mammalian tissue culture, that a short interfering RNA (siRNA) can repress expression of a target mRNA with partially complementary binding sites in its 3' UTR, much like the demonstrated function of endogenously encoded microRNAs (miRNAs). The mechani...
متن کاملOrigins and Mechanisms of miRNAs and siRNAs
Over the last decade, approximately 20-30 nucleotide RNA molecules have emerged as critical regulators in the expression and function of eukaryotic genomes. Two primary categories of these small RNAs--short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs)--act in both somatic and germline lineages in a broad range of eukaryotic species to regulate endogenous genes and to defend the genome from ...
متن کاملEHD2 shuttles to the nucleus and represses transcription.
EHD {EH [Eps15 (epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15) homology]-domain-containing} proteins participate in several endocytic events, such as the internalization and the recycling processes. There are four EHD proteins in mammalian cells, EHD1-EHD4, each with diverse roles in the recycling pathway of endocytosis. EHD2 is a plasma-membrane-associated member of the EHD family that regulat...
متن کاملFunctional siRNAs and miRNAs Exhibit Strand Bias
Both microRNAs (miRNA) and small interfering RNAs (siRNA) share a common set of cellular proteins (Dicer and the RNA-induced silencing complex [RISC]) to elicit RNA interference. In the following work, a statistical analysis of the internal stability of published miRNA sequences in the context of miRNA precursor hairpins revealed enhanced flexibility of miRNA precursors, especially at the 5'-an...
متن کاملSilence from within: Endogenous siRNAs and miRNAs
Although eukaryotic cells use RNA silencing to defend against transposons and pathogens, they also employ these pathways to regulate the expression of their own genes. Recent results have uncovered new examples of RNA silencing in controlling endogenous gene expression and have revealed novel mechanisms of downregulation. Bioinformatic analyses indicate that target genes in vertebrate species m...
