MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been well appreciated for their critical roles in regulating various biological processes in eukaryotes since the initial discovery of these tiny molecules in 1990s. The factory for miRNAs is located inside the nucleus, whereas their workplace is the cytoplasm. Thus, the prompt transport of miRNAs from nucleus to cytoplasm is essential for their proper functionality. In metazoans, the commitment is carried out by Exportin 5 (EXP5/XPO5), the nuclear exporter of miRNA precursors (premiRNAs)(Yi et al., 2003). In plants, HASTY (HST), a karyopherin family member that shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm, has been identified as a component in the miRNA pathway (Park, et al., 2005). Since HST is an ortholog of mammalian EXP5/XPO5, the protein has been ambiguously assumed to act as an exporter of plant miRNAs. However, a controversial observation is that the subcellular distribution of miRNAs between nucleus and cytoplasm is not altered, despite the decrease in their overall steady-state levels in the hst mutants (Park et al., 2005). Furthermore, it has been shown that AGO1, a master effector in plant RNA silencing, moves into nucleus to uptake miRNAs and subsequently returns to cytoplasm for functions via EXPORTIN1 (EXPO1/CRM1)(Bologna et al., 2018), and that the trafficking of AGO1-miRNA complexes is promoted by Nucleoporin 1 (NUP1)/Transcription-coupled Export 2 complex (TREX-2)(Zhang et al., 2020). These reports also challenged HST function as a miRNA exporter. An excellent study by Cambiagno et al.(2020), recently published in Molecular Plant, solved the long-term mystery and demonstrated that HST orchestrates the transcription and processing of primary substrates of miRNAs (pri-miRNAs), rather than serving as an exporter for miRNAs as previously thought (Figure 1).Cambiagno and colleagues began to address the issue by asking whether the exporting function of HST is essential for its role in the miRNA pathway. Karyopherins typically conduct cellular transport in cooperation with the small GTPases RANs. Similarly, HST, through its N-terminal domain, interacts with the GTPases RAN1–3 for the potential exporting activity. Cambiagno and colleagues did not observe any change in the steady-state accumulation or nuclear/cytoplasmic ratios of tested miRNAs in ran single or double mutants relative to Col-0. Similar to ran mutants, complementation transformants expressing N-terminal domain depleted HST (hst/HST DN) did not show a change in subcellular distribution of miRNAs. However, hst; HST DN harbored, similar to hst itself, reduced levels of miRNAs. Hence, the initial results led the authors to conclude that HST positively regulates miRNA accumulation via its N-terminal domain and this function can be uncoupled from HST exporting activity. Next, Cambiagno and colleagues assessed subcellular localizations of HST truncation forms in different backgrounds. Full length HST displayed an increased nucleus/cytoplasm ratio in ran1, consistent with the proposed role of RAN1 in the HST shuttling. Surprisingly, HST DN, which does not interact with RAN proteins, displayed a decreased nucleus/cytoplasm distribution in Col-0. The contrasted cellular
