title = "Analysis of the uridylation of both ARGONAUTE-bound miRNAs and 5′ cleavage products of their target RNAs in plants",
abstract = "Uridylation (3′ untemplated uridine addition) provides a mechanism to trigger the degradation of miRNAs and the 5′ cleavage products (5′ CP) that are produced from miRNA-directed ARGONAUTE (AGO) cleavage of target RNAs. We have recently shown that HEN1 SUPPRESSOR 1 (HESO1), a terminal uridylyltransferase, and its homolog UTP:RNA uridylyltransferase 1 (URT1) catalyze the uridylation of miRNAs and 5′ CPs within the AGO complex in higher plants. In this chapter, we describe detailed protocols for analyzing 3′ end uridylation of both AGO-bound miRNAs and 5′ CP.",
