MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20–24 nucleotide) noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally in multicellular organisms by affecting mRNA stability and translation. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as parts of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs), which may be protein-coding or noncoding. Pri-miRNAs are cleaved by the RNase III enzyme Drosha to produce approximately 70-nucleotide stem-loop precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), which are further processed by cytoplasmic Dicer into mature miRNAs and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing and usually leads to translational repression or destabilization of the target mRNA. RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [Provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
