TAIR Computational Description | microRNA ath-MIR159b precursor;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a microRNA that targets several MYB family members. MicroRNAs are regulatory RNAs with a mature length of ~21-nucleotides that are processed from hairpin precursors by Dicer-like enzymes. MicroRNAs can negatively regulate gene expression by attenuating translation or by directing mRNA cleavage.Mature sequence: UUUGGAUUGAAGGGAGCUCUU. Functions redundantly with MIR159A. Plants that are doubly mutated for MIR159AB have curled leaves and reduced stature. |
