MicroRNAs play important roles in cellular development and physiology. Although the regulation of microRNA biogenesis has been extensively elucidated, the degradation of microRNA has not been fully understood. The project focuses on the sequence-specific degradation of microRNAs. Several lines of evidence indicate that 3' end of microRNAs possesses the extensive modification of A/U addition. Based on the observation that modification of 3' end on various RNA species are associated with the RNA metabolism, we hypothesis that addition of A/U to the 3' end of micorRNAs modulates the turnover rate of microRNAs. This project plans to examine the half life and activity of modified miRNAs, then the screen against the nucleotydal transferases will be carried out. Based on these observations, we will further explore the two questions: the pathway that the modifications recruit the nucleases that degrade microRNAs and the biological significance of microRNA modifications in tumorigenesis.
微小RNA (microRNA)在生物发育和生理过程中有重要作用。当前对microRNA的生成途径有透彻的研究,但是对成熟microRNA降解的生化机制还了解很少。本项目集中研究microRNA的序列特异性的降解机制。深度测序数据表明microRNA的3'端存在广泛的添加单个或者少数无模板的腺苷酸/尿苷酸。RNA 3'末端的无模板核苷酸苷酸添加经常与RNA的代谢相关,因此我们假设microRNA的3'端的修饰调节了它们的降解速率。本项目拟定首先检查microRMA核苷酸添加对microRNA寿命和活性的影响。然后在细胞内筛选RNA末端核苷酸转移酶,观察成熟microRNA的表达水平。接着我们将利用体外合成的修饰的microRNA,检测它们在细胞中的半寿期。接着,我们探索两个问题:末端添加如何招募核酸酶;microRNA降解在癌症中的作用。
