Small nucleolar RNA-derived microRNA : ウィキペディア英語版 | Small nucleolar RNA-derived microRNA In molecular biology, small nucleolar RNA derived microRNAs are microRNAs (miRNA) derived from small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). MicroRNAs are usually derived from precursors known as pre-miRNAs, these pre-miRNAs are recognised and cleaved from a pri-miRNA precursor by the Pasha and Drosha proteins. However some microRNAs, mirtrons, are known to be derived from introns via a different pathway which bypasses Pasha and Drosha. Some microRNAs are also known to be derived from small nucleolar RNA. ==Discovery==
Small nucleolar RNA derived microRNA was first described in 2008. The protozoal intestinal parasite ''Giardia lamblia'' lacks the Drosha protein involved in pre-miRNA cleavage from pri-miRNA. However the miRNA processing protein dicer is found in ''Giardia''. A 26 nucleotide RNA, miR2, is processed from the ''Giardia lamblia'' snoRNA GlsR17 by dicer. MiR2 is a microRNA which may regulate the expression of variant surface proteins. Also in 2008, a small RNA was found to be cleaved from SCARNA15, a Human small Cajal body-specific RNA, by Dicer. This small RNA was found to function as a microRNA. Potential microRNAs were also identified in several other Human snoRNAs.
