Rbfox proteins regulate microRNA biogenesis by sequence-specific binding to their precursors and target downstream Dicer

Rbfox proteins regulate tissue-specific splicing by targeting a conserved GCAUG sequence within pre-mRNAs. We report here that sequence-specific binding of the conserved Rbfox RRM to miRNA precursors containing the same sequence motif in their terminal loops, including miR-20b and miR-107, suppresse...
