| Abstract | microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs (sRNAs) of ∼21 nucleotides (nt) in length processed from foldback hairpins by DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1) or DCL4. They regulate the expression of target mRNAs by base pairing through RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). In the RISC, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) is the key protein that cleaves miRNA targets at position ten of a miRNA:target duplex. The authenticity of many annotated rice miRNA hairpins is under debate because of their homology to repeat sequences. Some of them, like miR1884b, have been removed from the current release of miRBase based on incomplete information. In this study, we investigated the association of transposable element (TE)-derived miRNAs with typical miRNA pathways (DCL1/4- and AGO1-dependent) using publicly available deep sequencing datasets. Seven miRNA hairpins with 13 unique sRNAs were specifically enriched in AGO1 immunoprecipitation samples and relatively reduced in DCL1/4 knockdown genotypes. Interestingly, these species are ∼21-nt long, instead of 24-nt as annotated in miRBase and the literature. Their expression profiles meet current criteria for functional annotation of miRNAs. In addition, diagnostic cleavage tags were found in degradome datasets for predicted target mRNAs. Most of these miRNA hairpins share significant homology with miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements, one type of abundant DNA transposons in rice. Finally, the root-specific production of a 24-nt miRNA-like sRNA was confirmed by RNA blot for a novel EST that maps to the 3′-UTR of a candidate pseudogene showing extensive sequence homology to miR1884b hairpin. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that TEs can serve as a driving force for the evolution of some MIRNAs, where co-opting of DICER-LIKE1/4 processing and integration into AGO1 could exapt transcribed TE-associated hairpins into typical miRNA pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
