Name | mRNA cleavage involved in gene silencing by miRNA |
Definition | "The process in which microRNAs (miRNAs) direct the cleavage of target mRNAs. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically direct cleavage by base pairing with near-perfect complementarity to the target mRNA. Many plant miRNAs downregulate gene expression through this mechanism." [GOC:dph, GOC:mtg_lung, PMID:14744438, PMID:15196554] |
