In general, it is thought that miRNA biogenesis proceeds via intermediate precursor transcripts of more than 70 nucleotides that have the capacity to form an extended stem-loop structure (pre-miRNA), although at least some pre-miRNAs are further derived from even longer transcripts (primary miRNA transcripts, or pri-miRNAs).
Indeed, we tested one class 4 and seven class 5 candidates by northern blot and failed to observe expression for any of them, despite extensive, conserved stem-loop structure (data not shown).
Because the ∈ RNA stem-loop induces a structural change in P that is required for DHBV DNA polymerase activity [ 27, 28], we examined the possibility that ∈ may activate the RNAseH activity in micrococcal nuclease treated cores.
First, although miRseeker correctly identified it as a high-scoring conserved stem-loop, the incorrect strand was identified as its nontranscribed strand adopts greater helical structure than does its transcribed strand.
The largest cluster of miRNA genes in Drosophila includes six that were previously identified as the mir-3 → mir-6-3 cluster [ 10 ] . We identified two additional conserved stem-loop structures that flank mir-3 (Figure 7a), one of which ( mir-286 ) was confirmed by northern blot (Figure 5a).
