mRNA base-pairing post-transcriptional repressor activity

Term ID

GO:1903231

Synonyms

• mRNA base-pairing posttranscriptional repressor activity
• mRNA base-pairing translational repressor activity
• mRNA binding involved in cosuppression
• mRNA binding involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing
• mRNA binding involved in posttranscriptional gene silencing
• mRNA binding involved in PTGS
• mRNA binding involved in quelling
• mRNA binding translation repressor activity
• translational inhibitor activity via mRNA base-pairing

Definition

A post-transcriptional repressor activity that acts by base-pairing with an mRNA to prevent gene expression. The binding can result in targeting the mRNA for degradation or interfering with mRNA translation resulting in post-transcriptional gene silencing. (2)
