Small non-coding RNA biogenesis typically involves cleavage of structured precursors by RNase III-like endonucleases. However, guide RNAs that direct U-insertion/deletion mRNA editing in mitochondria of trypanosomes maintain 5′ triphosphate characteristic of transcription start site and possess U-...

miRNA levels depend on both biogenesis and turnover. The methyltransferase HEN1 stabilizes plant miRNAs, animal piRNAs, and siRNAs in both kingdoms via 3' terminal methylation. Loss of HEN1 in plants results in non-templated oligo-uridylation and accelerated degradation of miRNAs. In hen1 mutants fr...

The precise control of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is important for various cellular functions, and its dysregulation is often associated with human diseases. We previously reported that Terminal uridylyl transferase 4 (TUT4) down-regulates let-7 miRNA biogenesis by oligo-uridylating let-7 precursor...

3’ Uridylation Expands miRNA Target Repertoire

To obtain a global view of mRNA uridylation in Arabidopsis, we generated TAIL-seq libraries from WT plants, urt1 and xrn4 single mutants, and urt1 xrn4 double mutant. The TAIL-seq protocol was recently developed to deep-sequence the 3' ends of RNAs (Chang et al., 2014). We generated TAIL-seq librari...

Recent small RNA sequencing data has uncovered extensive modification of the 3’ end of mature microRNAs (miRNAs). This non-templated nucleotide addition can impact miRNA gene regulatory networks through the control of miRNA stability or by interfering with the repression of target mRNAs. The miRNA m...

Uridylation occurs pervasively on mRNAs in mammals, yet its mechanism and significance remain unknown. Here we identify TUT4 and TUT7 (also known as ZCCHC11 and ZCCHC6, respectively) as the enzymes that uridylate mRNAs. Uridylation readily occurs on deadenylated mRNAs that are not associated with po...
