Figure 3. Potential redundancy between miRNAs and RNA binding proteins.

Figure 3

RNA binding proteins (RBPs) may positively enhance the effects of miRNA regulation (first scenario). This enhancement may involve physical interaction of the RBP with the miRISC to upregulate its activity. Alternatively, RBPs may act in parallel to miRNAs by acting at a different level of gene expression such as processing of mRNA (second scenario).
