TRBP ensures efficient Dicer processing of precursor microRNA in RNA-crowded environments

The RNA binding protein TRBP is a component of the Dicer complex but its role in microRNA biogenesis remains poorly understood. Here the authors use a crowded RNA environment and single-molecule imaging to show that TRBP acts as a gatekeeper to prevent Dicer engagement with pre miRNA-like substrates...

Résumé:The RNA binding protein TRBP is a component of the Dicer complex but its role in microRNA biogenesis remains poorly understood. Here the authors use a crowded RNA environment and single-molecule imaging to show that TRBP acts as a gatekeeper to prevent Dicer engagement with pre miRNA-like substrates.
