mir-9/mir-79 microRNA precursor family

The miR-9 microRNA, is a short non-coding RNA gene involved in gene regulation. The mature ~21nt miRNAs are processed from hairpin precursor sequences by the Dicer enzyme. The dominant mature miRNA sequence is processed from the 5' arm of the mir-9 precursor, and from the 3' arm of the mir-79 precursor. The mature products are thought to have regulatory roles through complementarity to mRNA. In vertebrates, miR-9 is highly expressed in the brain, and is suggested to regulate neuronal differentiation. A number of specific targets of miR-9 have been proposed, including the transcription factor REST and its partner CoREST.

miR-338 Family of brain-specific microRNA precursors

miR-338 is a family of brain-specific microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precursor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer. This sequence then associates with RISC which effects RNA interference.

In molecular biology mir-370 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms. This microRNA, mir-370-3p, has been shown to play a role in heart failure. The upregulation of mir-370-3p in the sinus node leads to downregulation of the pacemaker ion channel, HCN4, and thus downregulation of the corresponding ionic current, which causes sinus bradycardia.

In molecular biology, microRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms. The miR-449 microRNA family encompasses three homologous small RNA molecules (miR-449a/b/c). This miR-449 cluster is located in the second intron of the CDC20B gene which both are co-transcribed. This miR-449 family belongs to the miR-34/miR-449 superfamily of microRNAs that is composed of six homologous miRNAs, named miR-34a/b/c and miR-449a/b/c. They are grouped together in the same superfamily, as their seed region and their adjacent nucleotide sequences are largely conserved. The miR-449 miRNAs control the differentiation of multiciliated cells in vertebrates.
