#11778 NTR: "miRNA export from nucleus" and "miRNA transporter activity"

[rach_huntley]

Is it possible to have two new terms for the plant miRNA biogenesis pathway;
1. "miRNA export from nucleus" as a child of GO:0006405 RNA export from nucleus
2. "miRNA transporter activity" as a child of GO:0005487 nucleocytoplasmic transporter activity

In animals it is the pre-miRNA that is exported from the nucleus (and we have the equivalent terms for this) but in plants the cleavage of pre-miRNA happens in the nucleus and the miRNA is exported by the Hasty protein.

Please add GOC:BHF_miRNA and GOC:rph

Thanks,
