Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, …

DICER is a multidomain endonuclease that belongs to the fourth class of type III ribonuclease (RNase III) enzymes. DICER is encoded by a single gene in vertebrates and C. elegans, although it can be …

Dicer is a crucial enzyme involved in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs), and its absence in limb mesoderm leads to loss of miRNA processing, increased cell death, and inappropriate gene expression.

Aug 25, 2025 · Dicer is a highly conserved, multidomain enzyme that plays a fundamental role in RNA interference (RNAi) and microRNA (miRNA) processing pathways.

Dicer is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. It processes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs), which …

Nov 16, 2021 · In this review, we will summarize the structural features of DICER, describe its canonical and non-canonical roles, and discuss the most common regulatory mechanisms having an impact on …

…by an enzyme known as DICER. The mature miRNA molecule then binds to an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which contains multiple proteins, including a ribonuclease enzyme.

The enzyme Dicer is best known for its role as a riboendonuclease in the small RNA pathway. In this canonical role, Dicer is a critical regulator of the biogenesis of microRNA and small interfering RNA, …

Jul 5, 2023 · Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for RNAi are produced by Dicer from long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a pool of different small RNAs. In contrast, miRNAs have specific …

Dicer, an RNase III enzyme, initiates the RNAi pathway, plays a pivotal role in fighting infection against pathogens, and acts as a housekeeping enzyme for cellular homeostasis. Here, we review structure …
