Tissue Expression Pattern of PMK-2 p38 MAPK Is Established by the miR-58 Family in

English version České info

MicroRNAs are small, noncoding RNAs that act post-transcriptionally to inhibit expression of their target mRNAs. Gene expression studies of microRNAs and their target transcripts in diverse organisms have suggested that microRNAs may function to shape patterns of tissue expression. In this paper, we show that the miR-58/80-82 family of microRNAs, which accounts for roughly half of all C. elegans microRNAs at all developmental stages, defines the spatial expression pattern of PMK-2 p38 MAPK. While the pmk-2 gene is broadly transcribed, its tissue-specific expression is established by the redundant activities of miR-58, miR-80, miR-81, and miR-82, which switch off expression of PMK-2 through destabilization of pmk-2 mRNA in non-neuronal tissues. Our data suggest a housekeeping role for the miR-58/80-82 family in establishing and maintaining neuronal patterns of gene expression in C. elegans, and supports a more general role for microRNAs in establishing patterns of tissue expression.
