With the help of an enzyme called dicer, long double-stranded RNA is diced into small fragments known as siRNA.
The siRNAs are then introduced into the RNA-induced silencing complex.
The duplex unwinds, allowing the RNA to be activated.
These complexes encourage RNA breakdown while inhibiting translation.
Later on, the siRNA binds to the Argonaute protein and one of the double-stranded strands is eliminated.
The remaining strand is responsible for binding to the mRNA target regions.
Finally, Argonaute cleaves the mRNA or recruits other components to control the target sequence.
