Abstract excerpt
Maturation of microRNAs (miRNAs) begins by the "Microprocessor" complex, containing the Drosha endonuclease and its partner protein, "DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8" (DGCR8). Although the main function of the two proteins is to coordinate the first step of precursor miRNAs formation, several studies revealed their miRNA-independent functions in other RNA-related pathways (e.g., in snoRNA decay) or, for the...
