What Is MicroRNA?

.

.

.

Endogenously expressed small functional RNAs (19-25 nt)
Regulate mRNA expression post-transcriptionally
 mRNA degradation, but also translation inhibition
Only partial sequence complementarity required
 One miRNA can potentially regulate hundreds of mRNAs
 One mRNA can be regulated by multiple miRNAs

Another layer of complexity for regulating gene expression

Canonical pathway of microRNA biogenesis
NUCLEUS

microRNA Gene

DNA

 Transcribed by RNA Polymerase II as
a long primary transcript (pri-miRNAs),
which may contain more than one miRNA.

POL II

Pri-miRNA
Drosha-DGCR8

 In the nucleus, Pri-miRNAs are processed
to hairpin-like pre-miRNAs by RNAse IIIlike enzyme Drosha

Pre-miRNA

CYTOPLASM

Exportin

 Pre-miRNAs are then exported to the
Cytosol by Exportin 5

Exportin

DICER-TRBP

mature miRNA
Ago

RISC Assembly

 These miRNAs are incorporated in RISC

RISC

High homology

mRNA cleavage

 In the cytosol RNAse III-like Dicer
processes these precursors to mature
miRNAs

Partial homology

Translational Repression
mRNA degradation

 miRNAs with high homology to the target
mRNA lead to mRNA cleavage
 miRNAs with imperfect base pairing to the
target mRNA lead to translational
repression and/or mRNA degradation

 Intergenic miRNA genes: either monocistronic or polycistronic with a common promoter
 Intronic miRNA genes: present in the introns of protein coding or noncoding genes, can
also be in clusters, transcribed by the host gene promoter
 Exonic miRNAs genes: rare and often overlap an exon and an intron of a noncoding gene
 miRNAs can be transcribed from the negative strand within or near a protein coding gene

 Protein & Gene Expression Levels, Biological Phenotypes
miRNA regulated genes are involved in a variety of biological
processes and diseases:
 Cancer
 Development
 Immunology
 Aging
 Heart Diseases
 Neurological Diseases
