Regulation of microRNA biogenesis

Ha, Minju, Kim, V. Narry·2014·Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as guide molecules in RNA silencing. Targeting most protein-coding transcripts, miRNAs are involved in nearly all developmental and pathological processes in animals. The biogenesis of miRNAs is under tight temporal and spatial control, and their dysregulation is associated with many human diseases, particularly cancer. In animals, miRNAs are ∼22 nucleotides in length, and they are produced by two RNase III proteins--Drosha and Dicer. miRNA biogenesis is regulated at multiple levels, including at the level of miRNA transcription; its processing by Drosha and Dicer in the nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively; its modification by RNA editing, RNA methylation, uridylation and adenylation; Argonaute loading; and RNA decay. Non-canonical pathways for miRNA biogenesis, including those that are independent of Drosha or Dicer, are also emerging.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • miRNAs direct translational repression by partial binding to the 3' UTR of mRNAs after incorporation into an RNA-induced silencing complex containing Argonaute-2 (Ago2).

    “miRNAs direct translational repression by partial binding to the 3Ј UTR of mRNAs after first being incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex containing Argonaute-2 (Ago2) (Gregory et al., 2005;Chekulaeva and Filipowicz, 2009;Ha and Kim, 2014).”

    From MicroRNA Profiling Reveals Marker of Motor Neuron Disease in ALS Models (2017) · cites this paper as Ha and Kim, 2014

  • Mammalian cells express several classes of small ncRNA including miRNA, siRNA, snoRNA, snRNA, piRNA, and tRFs.

    “Mammalian cells express several classes of small ncRNA, including microRNA (miRNA) (11), small interfering RNAs (siRNA), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) (12), small nuclear RNA (snRNA) (13), PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) (14), and tRNA-derived small RNAs (tRFs) (15)”

    From A mouse tissue atlas of small noncoding RNA (2020) · cites this paper as [11]

  • miRNA biogenesis starts with the processing of RNA polymerase II/III transcripts post- or co-transcriptionally.

    “miRNA biogenesis starts with the processing of RNA polymerase II/III transcripts post- or co-transcriptionally (14).”
  • In most cases, miRNAs interact with the 3' UTR of target mRNAs to induce mRNA degradation and translational repression.

    “In most cases, miRNAs interact with the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of target mRNAs to induce mRNA degradation and translational repression.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
