LK-L1C/K6W/L8C promotes in vitro Dicer processing of precursor-microRNA-29b (pre-miR29b), but not that of pre-miR29a. (a) In vitro processing assay for pre-miR29b was performed by treating the indicated peptides with immunopurified human Dicer. The dicing reaction was conducted for 2.5 minutes. The RNA size markers (decade marker, Ambion) were displayed on the left side of the gel. Values indicate ratios of mature miRNA to mature and precursor miRNA was quantified and normalized with mock sample. Relative levels of mature miR29b were presented below (n = 3, mean ± SD). (b) In vitro Dicer processing of pre-miR29a was carried out with peptides. Proportion of mature miRNA was quantified and normalized, as described in Figure 2a. Relative levels of mature miR29a were indicated below (n = 3, mean ± SD).
