Degradation of Fungal MicroRNAs Triggered by Short Tandem Target Mimics Is via the Small-RNA-Degrading Nuclease.
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as sequence-specific regulators of the genome, transcriptome, and proteome in eukaryotes. However, the functions and working mechanisms of hundreds of fungal miRNA-like (miR-like) RNAs are obscure. Here, we report that a short tandem target mimic (STTM) triggered the degradation of several fungal miR-like RNAs in two different fungal species,
