In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of extensive post-transcriptional regulation of miRNA biogenesis. This is sometimes accomplished by binding of RNA-binding proteins to the terminal loop of precursor miRNAs and affects Drosha and/or Dicer processing. In this study, the authors synthesized a small library of peptoids and analyzed their binding to an RNA model structure related to the stem and apical loop region of pri-miR-21. They identified a peptoid ligand that suppresses processing of a miR-21 primary transcript by association with its apical loop structure. This represents the first example of a small molecule that inhibits microprocessor-mediated processing by binding to the terminal loop of a pri-miRNA. We have found a small molecule that specifically inhibits cleavage of a precursor to the oncogenic miRNA, miR-21, by the microprocessor complex of Drosha and DGCR8. We identified novel ligands for the apical loop of this precursor from a screen of 14,024 N-substituted oligoglycines (peptoids) in a microarray format. Eight distinct compounds with specific affinity were obtained, three having affinities for the targeted loop in the low micromolar range and greater than 15-fold discrimination against a closely related hairpin. One of these compounds completely inhibits microprocessor cleavage of a miR-21 primary transcript at concentrations at which cleavage of another miRNA primary transcript, pri-miR-16, is little affected. The apical loop of pri-miR-21, placed in the context of pri-miR-16, is sufficient for inhibition of microprocessor cleavage by the peptoid. This compound also inhibits cleavage of pri-miR-21 containing the pri-miR-16 apical loop, suggesting an additional site of association within pri-miR-21. The reported peptoid is the first example of a small molecule that inhibits microprocessor cleavage by binding to the apical loop of a pri-miRNA.
