Ability to form duplexes as a factor of intracellular microRNA distribution by S. A. Kuzmichev, A. V. Komelkov, E. M. Tchevkina

“…The regulation of the content of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) in different cell compartments – the nucleus (N) and the cytoplasm (C) – makes it possible to control their availability for participation in RNA-mediated interference processes. Structurally different miRNAs, processed from different precursors (pre-miRNA), can form duplexes between molecules containing complementary sequences. …”
