miRNA regulation through ligand occupancy of a nuclear hormone receptor.

Sci Signal

University of Minnesota, Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development, Minneapolis, 55455, USA.

Published: August 2009

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression, but the factors that direct transcription of miRNAs are not well characterized. Activation versus repression of key developmental miRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans is directly mediated by ligand occupancy of a nuclear hormone receptor that acts to couple nutrient availability to developmental programs.
