Multiple mechanisms for small RNA (sRNA)-mediated translational regulation exist, but all are unified by inactivating protein synthesis of the target mRNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While many sRNA-mediated mechanisms do lead to the inactivation of protein synthesis, some sRNAs can also enhance the translation of target mRNAs, indicating a diversity in the mechanisms of action beyond solely inactivating protein synthesis.
