Zusatzinfos

microRNAs and microRNA-independent RNA-binding proteins are 2 classes of post-transcriptional regulators that have been shown to cooperate in gene-expression regulation. We compared the genome-wide target sets of microRNAs and RBPs identified by recent CLIP-Seq technologies, finding that RBPs have distinct target sets and favor gene interaction network hubs. To identify microRNAs and RBPs with a similar functional context, we developed simiRa, a tool that compares enriched functional categories such as pathways and GO terms. We applied simiRa to the known functional cooperation between Pumilio family proteins and miR-221/222 in the regulation of tumor supressor gene p27 and show that the cooperation is reflected by similar enriched categories but not by target genes. SimiRa also predicts possible cooperation of microRNAs and RBPs beyond direct interaction on the target mRNA for the nuclear RBP TAF15. To further facilitate research into cooperation of microRNAs and RBPs, we made simiRa available as a web tool that displays the functional neighborhood and similarity of microRNAs and RBPs: http://vsicb-simira.helmholtz-muenchen.de .
