Abstract
The secondary structure of pri-miRNAs determines the efficiency and accuracy of miRNA production. RNA helicase Brr2a, a key component of spliceosomes in Arabidopsis, can interact with the pri-miRNA processing machinery component HYL1 and fine-tune the structures of pri-miRNAs to enhance miRNA production, whether the pri-miRNAs contain introns or not.
