Figure 5. milRNA biogenesis mechanism for PM-milR-M1 and PM-milR-M2 in P. marneffei.

Figure 5

Northern blot analyses of small RNA samples in wild-type (WT), dcl-1KO, dcl-2KO, dclDKO and qde-2KO strains of P. marneffei showing that the production of milRNA of (A) PM-milR-M1 and (B) PM-milR-M2 requires DCL-2 but not DCL-1 or QDE-2. The ethidium bromide-stained denaturing gel in the bottom panel showed equal loading of RNA. Predicted structures of pre-milRNA of PM-milR-M1 and PM-milR-M2, with their milRNA and paired milRNA* sequences as labeled in red and green respectively, are shown next to the northern blot analyses. The probe sequences used for northern blot analyses are marked.
