Cell Host & Microbe - Positive Gene Regulation

Cell Host & Microbe - Positive Gene Regulation by a Natural Protective miRNA Enables Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, a plant-fungal mutualistic relationship, is regulated by the miR171 family. Couzigou et al. discover that miR171b has evolved a target site mismatch such that instead of silencing, miR171b protects its target gene LOM1 from cleavage by other miR171 family members and thereby enables AM symbiosis.
