miRNA-target interaction produces non-linear target protein output. Below a certain threshold of target mRNA production, the target is strongly repressed (pink). Above the threshold, repression is weaker and the target can exert competitive “sponge”-like effects (blue). The position of the threshold depends on miRNA concentration. Cartooned from (Mukherji et al., 2011) data.
