MicroRNA biogenesis. Primary transcripts are transcribed by RNA polymerase II and excised by a series of riboendonucleases into single-stranded mature microRNA stuctures. Mature microRNA structures are then loaded into the microRNA induced silencing complex (miRISC) and represses translation of targeted mRNA through 3- UTR binding.
