The most likely explanation is a two-factor recognition mechanism: a canonical miRNA seed-complementary site in lncRNA-0021 provides initial specificity, while a favorable local secondary structure or central pairing pattern raises affinity enough to distinguish mmu-miR-6361 from other seed-sharing candidates. This explains why seed complementarity is necessary but not by itself sufficient for selective binding.
lncRNA-0021 may contain a pre-folded structural element that lowers the entropic cost of binding and presents the miR-6361-complementary nucleotides in an accessible geometry. In this model, selectivity arises from the combination of sequence complementarity and an RNA fold that non-cognate miRNAs cannot exploit efficiently.
