Bovine primary miR-21 exists as two transcript variants and contains a conserved putative upstream promoter region. (A) Predicted pri-miR-21 transcript variants based on RACE-PCR derived sequences. (B) DNA gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR amplified pri-miR-21 transcript variants in bovine tissues and cells. A very faint band representing pri-miR-21 transcript variant 1 in testis is detectable. NTC; no template control. (C) Bos taurus pri-miR-21 variant 1 plus 1 kb upstream region; alignment to Mus musculus Ch11 and Homo sapiens Ch17. Major ticks on x-axis = 1000 nucleotides, minor ticks = 500 nucleotides. Blue = coding exon, salmon = intronic region, yellow = untranslated region, red = intergenic region. Height of conservation plot at each position represents the number of nucleotides conserved out of a 100 nucleotide window centered at that position. Horizontal pink bars denote evolutionarily conserved regions (ECR) to the bovine reference genome. ECR defined as a minimum 70% identity over 100 nucleotide regions. Vertical hatched line denotes pri-miR-21 transcription start site.
