Figure 1. Regulatory relationship between TF, miR and mRNA.

Figure 1

TFs and miRs often function in a coupled way. TFs can regulate the transcription of both the miR and its target mRNA by binding to their respective promoter region, while miRs regulate gene's post-transcription by binding to the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNA.
