Table 3 Primary Non Function (PNF) miRNA interactions with the mitochondrial proteome. The table summarizes PNF miRNA interactions with identified transcripts of open reading frames (ORF), Ensembl gene identification (ENSG), location of ORF, number of nucleotides (nt), homolog protein product of ORF and ontological biological process associated with protein as identified by the Protein Database. miRDB target score range 50–100, the higher the score the more likely that a given miRNA targets given gene. Further details of protein class, protein evidence and subcellular localization from Protein Atlas are also associated with identified ORF protein. If ORF protein is recognized by Mitocarta2.0 to be a mitochondrial protein (IMPI > 0.7) it is marked as “yes” (Y) and any ascribed function is summarized.
