Resumen

Los investigadores identificaron objetivos regulatorios para 14 microARN de Arabidopsis (miARN) mediante la búsqueda de ARN mensajeros complementarios (ARNm). Estos hallazgos sugieren que los miARN de las plantas juegan un papel en la diferenciación celular al eliminar las transcripciones reguladoras.

MicroRNAs

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...
