Abstract

The processing of miRNA from its precursors is a precisely regulated process and after biogenesis, the miRNAs are amenable to different kinds of modifications by the addition or deletion of nucleotides at the terminal ends. However, the mechanism and functions of such modifications are not well studied in plants. In this study, we have specifically analysed the terminal end non-templated miRNA modifications, using NGS data of rice, tomato and Arabidopsis small RNA transcriptomes from different tissues and physiological conditions. Our analysis reveals template independent terminal end modifications in the mature as well as passenger strands of the miRNA duplex. Interestingly, it is also observed that miRNA sequences terminating with a cytosine (C) at the 3' end undergo a higher percentage of 5' end modifications. The terminal end modifications did not correlate with the miRNA abundances and are independent of tissue types, physiological conditions and plant species. Our analysis indicates that the addition of nucleotides at miRNA ends is not influenced by the absence of RNA dependent RNA polymerase 6. Moreover the terminal end modified miRNAs are also observed amongst AGO1 bound small RNAs and have potential to alter target, indicating its important functional role in repression of gene expression.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2015.
All research outputs
#14,599,159
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#19,218
of 26,637 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#136,213
of 294,217 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#86
of 285 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 26,637 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,217 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 285 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
