Abstract

Small-molecule modulators, along with antisense oligonucleotide, would be powerful tools and potential drug candidates for modulating miRNA-related gene expressions. The mechanism of the inhibitory effect of the C-bulge binding small molecule BzDANP for the Dicer processing reaction of pre-miR-136 was discussed on the data obtained by SPR, NMR, and kinetic analysis for Dicer processing. SPR and NMR analysis showed the preference of BzDANP binding to the C-bulge. Michaelis-Menten analysis suggested the formation of a ternary complex pre-miR-136–BzDANP–Dicer during the Dicer-cleavage reaction of pre-miR-136 in the presence of BzDANP. The inhibitory effect of BzDANP is likely attributed to the slower reaction from the ternary complex than that from the binary pre-miR-136–Dicer complex.
