Cleaves hairpin precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNA) to generate mature miRNAs (miRNAs) that are between twenty-one to twenty-four nucleotides in length and function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression (PubMed:15066283, PubMed:15918769, PubMed:15985611, PubMed:17666393, PubMed:17928574, PubMed:19451544, PubMed:19635780, PubMed:21419681, PubMed:21926993, PubMed:23063653, PubMed:24488111, PubMed:36182693). Also functions in miRNA loading and assembly of the Argonaute 1 (AGO1)-containing RNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC), with the miRNAs serving as a guide to direct the miRISC to complementary RNAs to degrade them or prevent their translation (PubMed:15066283, PubMed:17928574, PubMed:19451544). Independently of its catalytic activity, functions in the siRNA silencing pathway by promoting assembly of the siRNA-directed Argonaute 2 (AGO2)-containing RISC (siRISC) (PubMed:15066283). Required for the proper formation of a stable intermediate (R2) in siRISC assembly, which is formed from the R1 precursor complex (containing Dcr-2, R2D2 and the siRNA) and is used for assembly of the mature (R3) siRISC complex (PubMed:15066283). It is not required for siRNA biogenesis (PubMed:15066283, PubMed:21419681). During embryogenesis, involved in germline fate determination (PubMed:16949822). Publication Abstract from PubMed In animals and plants, Dicer enzymes collaborate with double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) proteins to convert precursor-microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) into miRNA duplexes. We report six cryo-EM structures of Drosophila Dicer-1 that show how Dicer-1 and its partner Loqs‑PB cooperate (1) before binding pre-miRNA, (2) after binding and in a catalytically competent state, (3) after nicking one arm of the pre-miRNA, and (4) following complete dicing and initial product release. Our reconstructions suggest that pre-miRNA binds a rare, open conformation of the Dicer‑1⋠Loqs‑PB heterodimer. The Dicer-1 dsRBD and three Loqs‑PB dsRBDs form a tight belt around the pre-miRNA, distorting the RNA helix to place the scissile phosphodiester bonds in the RNase III active sites. Pre-miRNA cleavage shifts the dsRBDs and partially closes Dicer-1, which may promote product release. Our data suggest a model for how the Dicer‑1⋠Loqs‑PB complex affects a complete cycle of pre-miRNA recognition, stepwise endonuclease cleavage, and product release.
