The siRNA machinery. Upon entry into the cell, the sense strand of the double-stranded siRNA is cleaved. The antisense siRNA strand then acts as a guide for mRNA complementation. Perfect complementarity between the antisense siRNA strand and the target mRNA leads to mRNA degradation, while imperfect complementarity between the two leads to the mRNA translational repression.
