Abstract

Regulating the microRNA regulators As small RNAs exert profound effects on development and regulation of gene expression, their own expression must be similarly constrained to the right level in the right cell at the right time. A collaboration between the labs of Michael Rosenfeld and Witold Filipowicz reports that the RNA-binding protein KSRP (KH-type splicing regulatory protein) regulates the precursor processing of a subset of microRNAs. If this regulatory mechanism is disrupted, effects can be seen on proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Thus KSRP is involved in both mRNA turnover and in promoting mRNA expression. This work has uncovered a further level of complexity in the regulation of gene expression by mi-RNA.
