Abstract

We identify and characterize an RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) structure motif in the human microRNA 638 (hsa-miR-638). We investigate the formation and role of this rG4 in vitro and in cells, and reveal that it inhibits the miR-638 and MEF2C messenger RNA interaction and controls gene expression at the translational level.
