英文摘要	MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression that control almost every physiological and pathological process. Although the complementarity between the seed region of a miRNA and its target mRNA is usually deemed as the key determinant in the miRNA-target recognition in animals, the mechanism of their recognition still remains enigmatic as more and more exceptions challenge the seed rule. Herein, we employ single-moleculefluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to investigate human miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC)-involved miRNA-target recognition with either perfect base pairing or poor seed match in real time. Our results demonstrate that the recognition between mammalian miRNA and its target with perfect base pairing proceeds in a two-state model as prokaryotic guide DNA-mediated recognition, suggesting a conserved pattern of guide RNA/DNA strandrecognition. In addition to the general rule of miRNA-target recognition, our results reveal that annealing between miRNA and its target with poor seed match proceeds in a stepwise way, which is in accordance with the increase in the number of conformational states of miRNA-target duplex accommodated by the miRISC, suggesting the structural plasticity of human miRISC to conciliate the mismatches in seed region. This new dynamic information revealed by smFRET has an important implication for comprehensive understanding of the role of miRISC in the target recognition in mammals.
