Comments
This human miRNA was predicted by computational methods using conservation with mouse and Fugu rubripes sequences [1]. Expression of the excised miR has been validated in zebrafish, and the ends mapped by cloning. miR-196a was later validated in human [3,4]. Yekta et al. report that miR-196 miRNAs are expressed from HOX gene clusters in mammals, and that HOX genes in these clusters are targets of miR-196. Indeed, HOXB8 mRNA was shown to be a natural target for miR-196-directed cleavage through a perfectly complementary miR-target site. Other HOX genes have imperfect miR-196 complementary sites indicative of regulation by translational repression [2]. The mature sequence shown here represents the most commonly cloned form from large-scale cloning studies [4].
