Figure 2. Diagram of the RNA processing steps between transcription and translation showing the feedback from translation to each step in the pathway.
The flow of both informational mRNAs and regulatory micro-RNAs from transcription and through splicing, export, stability, localization and translation is depicted. The dominance of translation in feeding back and co-ordinating events upstream of the informational flow of mRNA is depicted by green arrows. The combinatorial regulation of translation by RBPs and mi-croRNAs is directed from within RNPs.
