Target: DGCR8 (DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region Gene 8 (DGCR8))

Alternative Name: DGCR8

Background:

Synonyms: Microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8|DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8|DGCR8|C22orf12|DGCRK6

Background: Component of the microprocessor complex that acts as a RNA-and heme-binding protein that is involved in the initial step of microRNA(miRNA) biogenesis. Component of the microprocessor complex that is required to process primary miRNA transcripts(pri-miRNAs) to release precursor miRNA(pre-miRNA) in the nucleus. Within the microprocessor complex, DGCR8 function as a molecular anchor necessary for the recognition of pri-miRNA at dsRNA-ssRNA junction and directs DROSHA to cleave 11 bp away form the junction to release hairpin-shaped pre-miRNAs that are subsequently cut by the cytoplasmic DICER to generate mature miRNAs(PubMed:26027739, PubMed:26748718). The heme-bound DGCR8 dimer binds pri-miRNAs as a cooperative trimer(of dimers) and is active in triggering pri-miRNA cleavage, whereas the heme-free DGCR8 monomer binds pri-miRNAs as a dimer and is much less active. Both double-stranded and single-stranded regions of a pri-miRNA are required for its binding(PubMed:15531877, PubMed:15574589, PubMed:15589161, PubMed:16751099, PubMed:16906129, PubMed:16963499, PubMed:17159994). Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine(m6A)-containing pri-miRNAs, a modification required for pri-miRNAs processing(PubMed:25799998). Involved in the silencing of embryonic stem cell self-renewal(By similarity).
