TAIR Computational Description | microRNA ath-MIR166b precursor;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a microRNA that targets several HD-ZIPIII family members including PHV, PHB, REV, ATHB-8, and ATHB-15. 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: UCGGACCAGGCUUCAUUCCCC. Pri-mRNA coordinates for MIR166b (converted to TAIR10 based on PMID19304749): Chr3: 22921936-22923122 (forward), length: 1187 bp; exon coordinates: exon 1: 22921936 to 22922389, exon 2: 22922485 to 22922566, exon 3: 22922653 to 22923122; mature miRNA and miRNA* are located on exon 1. |
