Gene Summary

Encodes a microRNA that targets several MYB family members. MicroRNAs are regulatory RNAs with a mature length of ~21-nucleotides that are processed from hairpin precursors by Dicer-like enzymes. MicroRNAs can negatively regulate gene expression by attenuating translation or by directing mRNA cleavage.Mature sequence: UUUGGAUUGAAGGGAGCUCUA. Functions redundantly with MIR159B. Plants that are doubly mutated for MIR159AB have curled leaves and reduced stature. Pri-mRNA coordinates for MIR159a (converted to TAIR10 based on PMID19304749): Chr1: 27713700-27712893 (reverse), length: 808 bp; exon coordinates: exon 1: 27713700 to 27712893, mature miRNA and miRNA* are located on exon 1.
