Potent and specific genetic interference by double-stranded RNA in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Experimental introduction of RNA into cells can be used in certain biological systems to interfere with the function of an endogenous gene. Such effects have been proposed to result from a simple antisense mechanism that depends on hybridization between the injected RNA and endogenous messenger RNA transcripts. RNA interference has been used in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to manipulate gene expression. Here we investigate the requirements for structure and delivery of the interfering RNA. To our surprise, we found that double-stranded RNA was substantially more effective at producing interference than was either strand individually. After injection into adult animals, purified single strands had at most a modest effect, whereas double-stranded mixtures caused potent and specific interference. The effects of this interference were evident in both the injected animals and their progeny. Only a few molecules of injected double-stranded RNA were required per affected cell, arguing against stochiometric interference with endogenous mRNA and suggesting that there could be a catalytic or amplification component in the interference process

Major differences between siRNA and microRNA
• miRNA: microRNA, 21-25 nt – Encoded by endogenous genes– ssRNA with stem-loop structure– Partial complement to the 3’UTR of target genes– Recognize multiple targets
• siRNA: short-interfering RNA, 21-25 nt– Mostly exogenous origin– dsRNA precursors– May be target specific

• 1993 Victor Ambros (Dartmouth) and colleagues showed that lin-4, a gene that controls developmental timing in C. elegans encodes two small RNA molecules and not protein
• lin-4 small RNA gene product showed sequence complementarity to multiple sites on 3’ UTR of lin-14
• Lin-4 inhibits lin-14 protein synthesis after the initiation of translation (1999)• At the time this mechanism was believed to be exclusive to nematodes

Lin-4 and Let-7 are funding members of microRNA
• Seven years later, let-7 (another non-coding gene) was shown to regulate development in worms
• A homolog of let-7 was identified in humans and Drosophila
• Lin-4 and let-7 became founding members of a group of endogenous small RNA molecules with regulatory functions

• Negatively regulate protein-coding genes through translational repression or targeting mRNA for degradation
• More than 500 microRNAs encoded in human genenome constitute a largest gene family
• It has been estimate that more than 30% of protein-coding genes can be regulated by miRNAs

MicroRNA Biogenesisand Mechanism of Action

Summary of microRNA biogenesis
Dicer
![Page 15: MicroRNA (miRNA) Hua-Chien Chen Ph.D Small non-coding RNA with Big Impact in Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56649ee45503460f94bf26ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
microRNA biogenesis1. MicroRNA (miRNA) genes are generall
y transcribed by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) in the nucleus to form large pri-miRNA transcripts, which are capped (7MGpppG) and polyadenylated (AAAAA).
2. These pri-miRNA transcripts are processed by the RNase III enzyme Drosha and its co-factor, Pasha, to release the ~70-nucleotide pre-miRNA precursor product.
3. RAN–GTP and exportin 5 transport the pre-miRNA into the cytoplasm
4. Subsequently, another RNase III enzyme, Dicer, processes the pre-miRNA to generate a transient ~22- nucleotide miRNA:miRNA* duplex.
![Page 16: MicroRNA (miRNA) Hua-Chien Chen Ph.D Small non-coding RNA with Big Impact in Biology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081511/56649ee45503460f94bf26ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
microRNA biogenesis
5. This duplex is then loaded into the miRNA-associated multiprotein RNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC), which includes the Argonaute proteins, and the mature single-stranded miRNA
6. The mature miRNA then binds to complementary sites in the mRNA target to negatively regulate gene expression in one of two ways that depend on the degree of complementarity between the miRNA and its target.
– mRNA degradation– Translational repression

miRNA• Nuclear RNAse-III enzyme [Lee at
al., 2003]– Tandem RNAse-III domains
• How does it identify pri-miRNA?– Hairpin terminal loop size– Stem structure– Hairpin flanking sequences

Working hypothesis of Dicer
• First contact of dsRNA– 2 nt overhang on the 3’ end of dsRNA
• Binds to the PAZ binding domain at an oligonucleotide (OB) fold
• Second contact at Platform Domain– Anti-parallel-beta sheet– Positive charged residues
• Residues interact with negative charge of RNA backbone
• A connector helix forms 65 Angstrom (24nt) distance between the PAZ holding and the RNase III cleaving domains – “ruler”
• Third contact at the 2 RNase III domains– 2 Mn cation binding sites per RNase domain– RNase III domains positioned via bridging domain– Bind to scissile phosphates of dsRNA backbone
• A cluster of Acidic residues near the Mn cation binding sites in the RNase III domains is responsible for the hydrolytic cleavage of dsRNA
• The small guide RNA is then released and incorporated into the RISC complex by the PAZ-like Argonaut protein

Exporting of microRNA
The pre-miRNA with its typical ~2 nucleotide overhang at its 3′end is specifically recognized by exportin‑5 and is transported to the cytoplasm, where it dissociates from its receptor after RanGTP hydrolysis.

• Between 130 kDa and 500 kDa
• Other components are being characterized
• Cleaves RNA complementary to the siRNA, in the middle of the sequence
