Noncanonical functions of microRNA pathway enzymes – Drosha, DGCR8, Dicer and Ago proteins

Abstract:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory noncoding RNAs that are generated in the canonical RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Drosha, DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) and Dicer are key players in miRNA biogenesis. Argonaute (Ago) proteins bind to miRNAs and are guided by them to find messenger RNA targets and carry out post‐transcriptional silencing of protein‐coding genes. Recently, emerging evidence suggests that RNAi factors have a range of noncanonical functions that are beyond m...
