The Effect of Alternative Splicing Sites on Mirtron Formation and Arm Selection of Precursor microRNAs.

Abstract excerpt

Mirtrons represent a subclass of microRNAs (miRNAs) that rely on the splicing machinery for their maturation. However, the molecular details of this Drosha-independent processing are still not fully understood; as an example, the Microprocessor complex cannot process the mirtronic pre-miRNA from the transcript even if splice site mutations are present. To investigate the influence of alternative splicing sites on...
