Oncogenic All1 fusion proteins target Drosha-mediated microRNA processing.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding small RNA of approximately 22 bases, which suppress expression of target genes through translational block or degradation of a target's transcript. Recent studies uncovered specific miRNA expression profiles in human malignancies. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying cancer-specific miRNA expression are largely unknown. miRNA biogenesis consists of a series o...
متن کاملDrosha in primary microRNA processing.
MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing is one of the major regulatory pathways in eukaryotes. Much effort has been made to identify the factors involved in the pathway, and our understanding of RNA silencing has significantly advanced in recent years. Our group has been working on some of the issues regarding miRNA biogenesis and, in this paper, we summarize what we and other workers in the f...
متن کاملStructural dynamics control the MicroRNA maturation pathway
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial gene expression regulators and first-order suspects in the development and progression of many diseases. Comparative analysis of cancer cell expression data highlights many deregulated miRNAs. Low expression of miR-125a was related to poor breast cancer prognosis. Interestingly, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in miR-125a was located within a minor allele e...
متن کاملDrosha protein levels are translationally regulated during Xenopus oocyte maturation
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21-nucleotide-long, single-stranded noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Biogenesis of miRNAs is mediated by the two RNase III-like enzymes, Drosha and Dicer. Here we study miRNA biogenesis during maturation of Xenopus oocytes to eggs using microinjection of pri-miRNAs. We show that processing of exogenous and endogenous primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) is strongly e...
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...
