What is RNAi ? A form of posttranscriptional gene silencing, in which dsRNA induces degradation of the homologous mRNA, mimicking the effect of the reduction, or loss, of gene activity. Kim VN., J Korean Med Sci . 2003
MicroRNA • Small, Non coding RNAs • 21~25nt long • Negatively regulate gene expression • Lin-4, Let-7 • RNAse Ⅲ type enzyme Kim VN., J Korean Med Sci . 2003
Examples of Metazoan miRNAs stem loops involving the mature miRNAs (red) The miRNAs* (blue) David P. Bartel. cell. 2004
The molecular hallmarks of lin-4 Lin He and Gregory J.Hannon. Nature. 2004
MiRNAs and SiRNAs — what’s the difference • terms of their molecular characteristics, biogenesis and effector functions • share a common RNase-III processing enzyme, Dicer, and closely related effector complexes, RISCs, for post-transcriptional repression miRNA siRNA • Specific precursor • bind to the target 3′ UTRs through imperfect complementarity at multiple • sites • sampled more randomly from long dsRNAs • form a perfect duplex with their targets at only one site
The current model for the biogenesis and post-transcriptional suppression Two processing First: nascent miRNA(pri-miRNA) → ~70nt precursor (pre-miRNA) Second: → 21~25nt mature miRNA Drosha, Dicer: ds RNA specific endonuclease Lin He and Gregory J.Hannon. Nature. 2004
The structure and function of the Dicer family • Dicer1 and Dicer2 • Deficiency in Dicer1 disrupts the processing of pre-miRNAs • loss of Dicer2 affects the production of siRNAs, but not miRNA maturation. • =PAZ domain is only present in Dicer1, but absent in Dicer2 Argonaute (AGO) proteins include PAZ domain and a piwi domain. Lin He and Gregory J.Hannon. Nature. 2004
Post-transcriptional repression by miRNAs • Lin-4와 lin-14 • Let-7(worms), Bantam(flies), miR30 (mammal) – negatively regulate • mir-196 = animal에서 유일하게 그 target인 Hoxb8에서 base pairing이 perfect하여 mRNA의 destruction일으킴 • miR-172 = 유일하게 coding 영역에 존재하며 plant에서 유일하게 repressor로 작용
