MicroRNAs expressed by human cytomegalovirus
12 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs about 22 nucleotides in length, which play an important role in gene regulation of both eukaryotes and viruses. They can promote RNA cleavage and repress translation via base-pairing with complementary sequences within mRNA molecules. MAIN BODY: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes a large number of miRNAs that regulate transcriptions of both host cells and...
