Weak Seed-Pairing Stability and High Target-Site Abundance Decrease the Proficiency of lsy-6 and Other miRNAs
Most metazoan microRNAs (miRNAs) target many genes for repression, but the nematode lsy-6 miRNA is much less proficient. Here, we show that the low proficiency of lsy-6 can be recapitulated in HeLa cells and that miR-23 (a mammalian miRNA) also has low proficiency in these cells. Reporter results an...

description | Most metazoan microRNAs (miRNAs) target many genes for repression, but the nematode lsy-6 miRNA is much less proficient. Here, we show that the low proficiency of lsy-6 can be recapitulated in HeLa cells and that miR-23 (a mammalian miRNA) also has low proficiency in these cells. Reporter results and array data both indicate two properties of these miRNAs that impart low proficiency: their weak predicted seed-pairing stability (SPS) and their high target-site abundance (TA). These two properties also explain differential propensities of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to repress unintended targets. Using these insights, we expand the TargetScan tool for quantitatively predicting miRNA regulation (and siRNA off-targeting) so as to model differential miRNA (siRNA) proficiencies, thereby improving prediction performance. Moreover, we propose that siRNAs designed to have both weaker SPS and higher TA will have fewer off-targets without compromised on-target activity. |
