Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome-wide Identification of RNA-Binding Protein and MicroRNA Target Sites by PAR-CLIP

TL;DR: This study developed a cell-based crosslinking approach to determine at high resolution and transcriptome-wide the binding sites of cellular RBPs and miRNPs and revealed that these factors bind thousands of sites containing defined sequence motifs and have distinct preferences for exonic versus intronic or coding versus untranslated transcript regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs 103 and 107 regulate insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of microRNAs 103 and 107 (miR-103/107) is upregulated in obese mice and caveolin-1, a critical regulator of the insulin receptor, is identified as a direct target gene of miR- 103/107, as a new target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-375 maintains normal pancreatic α- and β-cell mass

TL;DR: It is shown that microRNA-375 (miR-375), which is highly expressed in pancreatic islets, is required for normal glucose homeostasis and adaptive β-cell expansion in response to increasing insulin demand in insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and consequences of miRNA-target interactions--beyond repression of gene expression

TL;DR: The recent progress in identifying miRNA targets and the emerging paradigms of how miRNAs shape the dynamics of target gene expression are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A quantitative analysis of CLIP methods for identifying binding sites of RNA-binding proteins

TL;DR: The results confirm the expectation from original CLIP publications that RNA-binding proteins do not protect their binding sites sufficiently under the denaturing conditions used during the CLIP procedure, and show that extensive digestion with sequence-specific RNases strongly biases the recovered binding sites.
