double-stranded RNA + H2O Dicer is a multidomain ribonuclease that processes double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) to 21 nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) during RNA interference, and excises microRNAs from precursor hairpins. Dicer contains two domains related to the bacterial dsRNA specific endonuclease, RNase III, which is known to function as a homodimer. Enzyme has only one processing center, containing two RNA cleavage sites and generating products with 2 nt 3' overhangs. It is proposed that Dicer functions through intramolecular dimerization of its two RNase III domains, assisted by the flanking RNA binding domains, PAZ and dsRBD Escherichia coli 5'-phosphooligonucleotides
