MicroRNA-seq of cell lines expressing pri-miR-9 paralog constructs

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with Drosha cleavage, the fidelity of which is critical for downstream processing and mature miRNA target specificity. To understand how pri-miRNA sequence and structure influence Drosha cleavage, we studied the processing of three pri-miR-9 paralogs (pri-miR-9-1, pri-miR-9-2 and pri-miR-9-3), which encode the same miRNA but differ in the surrounding scaffold. We show that pri-miR-9-1 has a unique Drosha cleavage profile due to its kinked tertiary structure. Cleavage of pri-miR-9-1, but not pri-miR-9-2 or pri-miR-9-3, generates an alternative-miR-9 with a shifted seed sequence that expands the scope of its target RNAs. Here, we report the the miRNA-seq data of HEK293T and HeLa cell lines transfected with different pri-miR-9 constructs.
