General Information
Term siRNA-mediated gene silencing by mRNA destabilization ID (Ontology) GO:0090625 (Gene Ontology)
Definition An siRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing pathway in which small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) direct the cleavage of target mRNAs. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), an siRNA will typically direct cleavage by base pairing with perfect or near-perfect complementarity to the target mRNA.[ PubMed:15260970 ]
Also Known As "mRNA cleavage involved in gene silencing by siRNA" ; "mRNA destabilization-mediated gene silencing by siRNA"
