Cleavage of Scarecrow-like mRNA Targets Directed by a Class of Arabidopsis miRNA
Cesar Llave,Zhixin Xie,Kristin D. Kasschau,James C. Carrington*
Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory molecules that
mediate effects by interacting with messenger RNA (mRNA) targets. Here
weshow that Arabidopsis thaliana miRNA 39 (also known as
miR171),a 21-ribonucleotide species that accumulates predominantly ininflorescence tissues, is produced from an intergenic region inchromosome III and functionally interacts with mRNA targets encodingseveral members of the Scarecrow-like (SCL)
family of putativetranscription factors. miRNA 39 is complementary to
an internalregion of three SCL mRNAs. The interaction
results in specificcleavage of target mRNA within the region of
complementarity,indicating that this class of miRNA functions like
small interferingRNA associated with RNA silencing to guide
sequence-specific cleavagein a developmentally controlled manner.
