Abstract
- Abstract: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are major actors of RNA interference (RNAi), a regulation pathway which leads to translational repression and/or degradation of specific mRNAs. They provide target specificity by incorporating into the RISC complex and guiding its binding to mRNA. Since the discovery of RNAi, many progresses have been made on the mechanism of action of the RISC complex and on the identification of target mRNAs. However, the regulation of RNAi has been poorly investigated so far. Recently, various studies have revealed physical and functional relationships between RNAi, P-bodies and mitochondria. This review intends to recapitulate these data and discuss their potential importance in cell metabolism. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
