Luciferase assays with sensor vectors carrying the 3'UTRs of TOMM22 and IPO7 demonstrated significant repression by ebv-miR-BART16 and ebv-miR-BART3, respectively.
A list summarizing the recovery of previously published targets of the KSHV and EBV miRNAs is presented in Table S9. NIHMS333942-supplement-01 Table S9 Recovery of previously published targets for KSHV or EBV miRNAs.Luciferase assays with sensor vectors carrying the 3'UTRs of TOMM22 and IPO7 demonstrated significant repression by ebv-miR-BART16 and ebv-miR-BART3, respectively.
For each of them, direct interactions between 3'UTR and EBV miRNAs were confirmed by luciferase assay but no functional assay has been performed so far (Table 2).Table 2 Validated targets from high-throughput studies. Shown are cellular targets identified by photoactivatable ribonucleoside enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP), High-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) or RNA immunoprecipitation and microarray (RIP-Chip) techniques. Validation of these targets was done using luciferase reporter assays.
We identified 7,827 miRNA-interaction sites in 3,492 cellular 3'UTRs. 531 of these sites contained seed matches to viral miRNAs.Table S6: High confidence miRNA-interaction sites in 3'UTRs.We identified an additional 2,972 CDS miRNA-interaction sites present in at least two libraries, 89.7% of which could be assigned to a miRNA (Table S7).
