Interestingly, in a recent study, localization of pri-miR-124 to the cytoplasm during miRNA biogenesis was demonstrated after infection with rSINV124 (the SINV that carries pri-miR-124), and was also associated to a strong redistribution of Drosha to the cytoplasm without a negative impact on the endogenous miRNA profile [69]. This evidence concerns the gene DROSHA and infection.
