Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that regulate gene expression. miRNAs are produced from primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs), which are cleaved by Microprocessor. Microprocessor, therefore, plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency and precision of miRNA production, and thus the function of the final miRNA product. Here, we conducted high-throughput enzymatic assays to investigate the catalytic mechanism of...
