The insulin-induced gene 1 protein (Insig1) inhibits the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway by retaining transcription factor SREBP in the endoplasmic reticulum, and by causing the degradation of HMGCR, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Liver-specific microRNA miR-122, on the other hand, enhances cholesterol biosynthesis by an unknown mechanism. We have found that Insig1 mRNAs are generated by alternative cleavage and polyadenylation, resulting in specific isoform mRNA species. During high cholesterol abundance, the short 1.4-kb Insig1 mRNA was found to be preferentially translated to yield Insig1 protein. Precursor molecules of miR-122 down-regulated the translation of the 1.4-kb Insig1 isoform mRNA by interfering with the usage of the promoter-proximal cleavage–polyadenylation site that gives rise to the 1.4-kb Insig1 mRNA. These findings argue that precursor miR-122 molecules modulate polyadenylation site usage in Insig1 mRNAs, resulting in down-regulation of Insig1 protein abundance. Thus, precursor microRNAs may have hitherto undetected novel functions in nuclear gene expression.
