Spatiotemporal Uncoupling of MicroRNA-Mediated Translational Repression and Target RNA Degradation Controls MicroRNP Recycling in Mammalian Cells
28 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated repression controls expression of more than half of protein-coding genes in metazoan animals. Translation repression is associated with target mRNA degradation initiated by decapping and deadenylation of the repressed mRNAs. Earlier evidence suggests the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as the site where microRNPs (miRNPs) interact with their targets before translation repression sets in, but...
