The size of asymmetric internal loop in the lower stem affects the level of the 5p-strand single cleavage of Microprocessor. (A and D) Diagram of pri-mir-92a-1 and its variants. The mutated nucleotides are in red. (B and E) Pri-miRNA processing assays. Five pmol of each pri-miRNA were incubated with 8 pmol each of D3-G1 and the G4 dimer for 2 h at 37°C. (C) Quantification of the pri-miRNA processing data from (B). The pri-miRNA processing assays in (B) were repeated three times. The single-cut (sc) to double-cut (dc) activity ratio (sc/dc ratio) was estimated as the ratio of the single-cut to double-cut product (F2) band density in the gel. The p-values of the one-tailed t-test for the sc/dc ratios estimated from three replicates were shown. MP: Microprocessor.
