A distinct class of small RNAs arises from pre-miRNA-proximal regions in a simple chordate


ABSTRACT: We report the comprehensive sequencing of small RNA libraries created from different developmental stages of the basal chordate, Ciona intestinalis. Surprisingly, half of the identified miRNA loci encode not two, but up to four distinct small RNAs. These additional RNAs, termed M-bM-^@M-^\moRsM-bM-^@M-^], are generated from sequences adjacent to the predicted ~60-nt pre-miRNA. moRs appear to be produced by RNAse-III-like processing, are ~20-nt in length, have 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-monophosphate and 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-hydroxl termini, and like miRNAs, are developmentally regulated. Sequencing of small RNA libraries from 4 stages of Ciona intestinalis. Ciona_LarvaMir309_RNASeq and Dmel_Toll10b_RNASeq are sequencing runs to detect if the expression of these RNA products is specific to Ciona or not. An ectopic transcript of the Drosophila melanogaster miR-309 locus was expressed in Ciona to see if it processed the miRs differently than Drosophila melanogaster. The Dmel sequence is from the endogenous case and is a control for comparison.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in various cellular processes. They are thought to function primarily as inhibitors of gene activity by attenuating translation or promoting mRNA degradation. A typical miRNA gene produces a predominant approximately 21-nucleotide (nt) RNA (the miRNA) along with a less abundant miRNA(*) product. We sought to identify miRNAs from the simple chordate Ciona intestinalis through comprehensive sequencing of small RNA libraries created from different development  ...[more]
