Term Name mRNA cleavage involved in gene silencing by miRNA
Term Accession GO:0035279
Aspect biological_process
Synonyms (3) gene silencing by miRNA, mRNA cleavage, miRNA-mediated gene silencing, mRNA cleavage, mRNA cleavage involved in gene silencing by microRNA
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.
