TY - JOUR AU - Kato, Mitsuo PY - 2018 TI - Target RNA-directed microRNA degradation; which controls which? JF - Non-coding RNA Investigation; Vol 2 (November 2018): Non-coding RNA Investigation Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - In general, microRNAs (miRNAs) control target gene expression by inhibiting translation and destroying target RNAs (1,2). However, interestingly some endogenous coding or noncoding RNAs have a function to sequester miRNAs from the real target RNAs by hybridization (called sponge function) without degradation and they are also known as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) (3,4).
