physiological function | isoform HESO1, which uridylates most unmethylated miRNAs in vivo, and isoform URT1 which exhibits nucleotidyl transferase activity on unmethylated miRNA, prefer substrates with different 3'-end nucleotides in vitro and act cooperatively to tail different forms of the same miRNAs in vivo. Both HESO1 and URT1 exhibit nucleotidyl transferase activity on AGO1-bound miRNAs. Although the enzymes are able to add long tails to AGO1-bound miRNAs, the tailed miRNAs remain associated with AGO1. Tailing of AGO1-bound miRNA165/6 drastically reduces the slicing activity of AGO1-miR165/6 | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | URT1 is the single most predominant nucleotidyl transferase that tails miRNAs. URT1 and isoform HESO1, which uridylates most unmethylated miRNAs in vivo, prefer substrates with different 3'-end nucleotides in vitro and act cooperatively to tail different forms of the same miRNAs in vivo. Both HESO1 and URT1 exhibit nucleotidyl transferase activity on AGO1-bound miRNAs. Although the enzymes are able to add long tails to AGO1-bound miRNAs, the tailed miRNAs remain associated with AGO1. Tailing of AGO1-bound miRNA165/6 drastically reduces the slicing activity of AGO1-miR165/6. Monouridylation of miR171a by URT1 endows the miRNA the ability to trigger the biogenesis of secondary siRNAs | Arabidopsis thaliana |
