Model for anti-miR21 activity. (A) TGS and PTGS models for mechanism by which anti-miR21 inhibits miR21. (B) Model for mechanism by which anti-miR21 inhibits miR30. Anti-miR21 blocks miR30 on the basis of matching sequence. I. The structure of pri-miR30. Red bar indicates hybrid area of anti-miR21, as identified by CLC Bio Main Workbench software. Highlighted sequence is mature miR30. II. Pri-miR30 is normally processed into mature miR30 through the normal miRNA mechanism. III. The structure of pri-miR30 can be changed by anti-miR21. IV. Sequence alignment of pri-miR30 (upper sequence) with anti-miR21 (red sequence). Gray sequence shows the mature miR30.
