MIR514A2

Summary

MIR514A2 (microRNA 514a-2, HGNC:32149) is a microRNA gene on chromosome Xq27.3.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 2)

• miR-514a has the ability to bind to NF1 and inhibit its translation, and miR-514a expression is involved in modulating cell proliferation rates along with BRAFi (PLX4032) sensitivity in melanoma. (PMID:25980496)
• Loss of miR-514a-3p expression in testicular germ cell tumor increases PEG3 expression that recruits TRAF2 and activates the NF-kappa B pathway, which protects germ cells from apoptosis. (PMID:28471449)
