MicroRNA Biogenesis: Drosha Can't Cut It without a Partner
The ribonuclease Drosha requires a dedicated double-stranded RNA binding protein to convert long, nuclear primary microRNA transcripts into shorter pre-microRNA stem-loops, the cytoplasmic precursors from which mature microRNAs are ultimately excised.
متن کاملFUS stimulates microRNA biogenesis by facilitating co-transcriptional Drosha recruitment.
microRNA abundance has been shown to depend on the amount of the microprocessor components or, in some cases, on specific auxiliary co-factors. In this paper, we show that the FUS/TLS (fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma) protein, associated with familial forms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), contributes to the biogenesis of a specific subset of microRNAs. Among them, species w...
متن کاملBRCA1 regulates microRNA biogenesis via the DROSHA microprocessor complex
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that function as key posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. miRNA maturation is controlled by the DROSHA microprocessor complex. However, the detailed mechanism of miRNA biogenesis remains unclear. We show that the tumor suppressor breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) accelerates the processing of miRNA primary transcripts. BRCA1 increased the expressions of...
متن کاملA novel role for GSK3β as a modulator of Drosha microprocessor activity and MicroRNA biogenesis
Regulation of microRNA (miR) biogenesis is complex and stringently controlled. Here, we identify the kinase GSK3β as an important modulator of miR biogenesis at Microprocessor level. Repression of GSK3β activity reduces Drosha activity toward pri-miRs, leading to accumulation of unprocessed pri-miRs and reduction of pre-miRs and mature miRs without altering levels or cellular localisation of mi...
متن کاملTDP-43 promotes microRNA biogenesis as a component of the Drosha and Dicer complexes.
Although aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression is linked to human diseases including cancer, the mechanisms that regulate the expression of each individual miRNA remain largely unknown. TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is homologous to the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs), which are involved in RNA processing, and its abnormal cellular distribution is a key feature of amyotro...
