Term ID

GO:0035278

Synonyms

• down regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA
• down-regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA
• downregulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA
• gene silencing by miRNA, negative regulation of translation
• inhibition of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA
• miRNA mediated inhibition of translation
• miRNA-mediated gene silencing, negative regulation of translation
• negative regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by microRNA

Definition

An RNA interference pathway in which microRNAs (miRNAs) block the translation of target mRNAs into proteins. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically mediate repression of translation if the miRNA imperfectly base-pairs with the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs.
