Synergistic and independent actions of multiple terminal nucleotidyl transferases in 3’ tailing of small RNAs in Arabidopsis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Small silencing RNAs are key regulators of gene expression in both plants and animals. HEN1-mediated 3’ terminal 2’-O-methylation plays a crucial role in small RNA stability control. In the absence of HEN1, small RNAs are frequently uridylated (untemplated uridine addition) and trimmed, a phenomenon that is conserved across species. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we have discovered UTP: RNA uridylyltransferase (URT1) acts redundantly with HESO1 in the uridylation of miRNAs, in addition to its role in oligo-adenylated mRNA uridylation. We show both common and distinctive features of URT1 and HESO1 in catalyzing miRNA uridylation.
