MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20–24 nt) noncoding RNAs that participate in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting mRNA stability and translation. They are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as 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 ~70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), which are further processed by cytoplasmic Dicer to generate mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. Mature miRNAs are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), where imperfect base pairing with target mRNAs most often leads to translational repression or destabilization. The RefSeq record represents a predicted microRNA stem-loop. [Provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
