Ribonuclease 3 (EC:3.1.26.3), Protein Drosha, Ribonuclease III, RNase III, p241, DROSHA, RN3, RNASE3L, RNASEN,
Drosha was identified as a nuclear RNase III that catalyzes the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) processing. This enzyme processes the long primary transcript pri-miRNAs into stem-looped pre-miRNAs. Interference of Drosha results in the increase of pri-miRNAs and the decrease of pre-miRNAs. Drosha exists in a multiprotein complex called Microprocessor along with other components such as DGCR8. Drosha, along with DGCR8, is necessary for miRNA biogenesis. Ribonuclease III double-stranded (ds) RNA-specific endoribonuclease that is involved in the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. Component of the microprocessor complex that is required to process primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to release precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) in the nucleus. Within the microprocessor complex, DROSHA cleaves the 3 and 5 strands of a stem-loop in pri- miRNAs (processing center 11 bp from the dsRNA-ssRNA junction) to release hairpin-shaped pre-miRNAs that are subsequently cut by the cytoplasmic DICER to generate mature miRNAs. Involved also in pre-rRNA processing. Cleaves double-strand RNA and does not cleave single-strand RNA. Involved in the formation of GW bodies.
