MicroRNA-Directed Cleavage of HOXB8 mRNA Soraya Yekta,I-hung Shih, David P.Bartel 23 APRIL 2004 VOL 304 SCIENCE Hox genes in mammals The vertebrate homeotic complex comprises four distinct Hox gene clusters (Hox A, B, C, D) that are organized into thirteen homology The chromosomal organization of the genes in each Hox cluster reflects its anterior-posterior expression in the body plan (spatial colinearity). In general, members of the same subgroup are expressed at the same time and have the same anterior boundary of expression Recent progress In plant, most miRNAs anneal to their targets with nearly complete complementarity at a single site,leading to mRNAs cleavage and degradation The extent of complementarity between the siRNA/miRNA and its target can determine the mechanism of silencing Discussion Transcriptional repression may also involved Genetic model of mRNA cleavage in vivo The difference of miRNA and siRNA The mechanism of miRNA function Thank you! * * The current model for the biogenesis and post-transcriptional suppression of microRNAs and siRNAs miR-196 in Vertebrate The sequence and genomic context of the vertebrate miR-196 family Bold: residues of the mature miRNA; Red: miRNAs validated by cloning. Asterisks: perfectly conserved residues Overview of the 5’ RACE Procedure RNAse protection assay The Northern blot probes total RNA from 7-day, 11-day, 15-day, and 17-day mouse embryos (lanes 1–4, respectively) M :33P-labeled RNA size markers Expression of miR-196 during mouse embryonic development.
