Previous studies have shown that the 3' UTR of BmVMP23 was destroyed by an inserted fragment, and the BmVMP23 expression was downregulated in the lethal egg of "Ming'' (l-e(m)). In this study, we found a miRNA (bmo-miR-1a-3p) that matches the 3' UTR sequence of BmVMP23 perfectly. The relationship between bmo-miR-1a-3p and the BmVMP23 expression was examined by the co-transfection in vitro. The luciferase assay result showed that luc expression was strongly repressed. This result inferred that bmo-miR-1a-3p may downregulate BmVMP23 expression via complementary interaction with the target sites at the 3' UTR. (C) 2013 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
