Leptin-Responsive MiR-4443 Is a Small Regulatory RNA Independent of the Canonic MicroRNA Biogenesis Pathway [PDF]
The human small RNA miR-4443 is functionally involved in several types of cancer and in the biology of the immune system, downstream of insulin and leptin signaling.

DNA methylation directs microRNA biogenesis in mammalian cells [PDF]
Long primary transcripts of microRNAs are co-transcriptionally cleaved by the enzyme Drosha. Here the authors suggest that DNA methylation in miRNA loci in mammalian cells increases Drosha binding, slowing RNA polymerase II elongation to enhance miRNA ...

MicroRNA Biogenesis and Cancer [PDF]
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a recently discovered family of short non–protein-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression. Recent studies of miRNAs highlight a requirement for cell viability. Posttranscriptional silencing of target genes by miRNAs occurs either by targeting specific cleavage of homologous mRNAs, or by ...

MicroRNA clustering on the biogenesis of suboptimal microRNAs [PDF]
AbstractMost microRNAs (miRNAs) are processed by two ribonuclease III enzymes. The first cleavage is performed by Microprocessor that is composed of RNase III enzyme Drosha and DGCR8, and the second by another RNase III enzyme Dicer. There are many examples of miRNAs that are poor substrates for Drosha and Dicer, owing to their suboptimal structures ...

The role of microRNAs in learning and long-term memory
The mechanisms of long-term memory formation and ways to improve it (in the case of its impairment) remain an extremely difficult problem yet to be solved. Over the recent years, much attention has been paid to microRNAs in this regard.
