mir-399 microRNA precursor family 
Predicted secondary structure and sequence conservation of mir-399 Identifiers Symbol mir-399 Rfam RF00445 miRBase MI0001020 miRBase family MIPF0000015 Other data RNA type Gene; miRNA Domain(s) Eukaryota GO 0035195 0035068 SO 0001244 mir-399 is a microRNA that was identified in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa computationally and was later experimentally verified. mir-399 is thought to target mRNAs coding for a phosphatase transporter.[1] The mature sequence is excised from the 3' arm of the hairpin. There are multiple copies of MIR399 in each plant genome, for example A. thaliana contains six microRNA precursors that all give rise to an almost identical mature miR-399 sequence.
