Resumen

MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) es crucial para el sistema inmunológico de los mamíferos, ya que regula la diferenciación de las células T auxiliares y las respuestas de los anticuerpos mediante el control de la producción de citoquinas. Esto pone de relieve el papel vital de los microARN en el desarrollo de los mamíferos.

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...
