Abstract excerpt
Mammalian homologs of lin28: Lin28 and Lin28B block the post-transcriptional processing of the let-7 family of miRNAs. We report that in vitro the terminal stem-loop region of the let-7g miRNA precursor (pre-let-7g) required to bind Lin28B is restricted to 24 nucleotides (nt) including the 3' GGAG motif. Additionally, full length Lin28B is required for efficient binding to pre-let-7g and the stoichiometry of the...
