AGO-bound mature miRNAs are oligouridylated by TUTs and subsequently degraded by DIS3L2

3′ end of microRNAs binds to the PAZ domain of Argonaute (AGO) proteins. Here the authors show that terminal nucleotidyltransferases TUT4/7 and exonuclease DIS3L2 induce tailing and decay of 3’ end exposed-microRNAs in AGO PAZ mutant expressing- or cancer cells.
