...The mechanisms involved are not fully understood but it is thought that Ago could compete with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 for mRNA-cap binding (Humphreys et al., 2005; Kiriakidou et al., 2007)....

...miRNAs have been recognized as essential for neuron development and differentiation on the basis of original research in which the miRNA processing enzymes Dicer or Dgcr8 has been knocked-down [43,44,45]; however, the role they have in homeostasis of mature neurons and, in particular, synaptic function remains poorly understood....

...MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a class of highly-conserved, ~22- 24 nucleotide (nt) long non-coding RNAs that bind to the 3’ untranslated region of target mRNA species, leading to translational repression or mRNA degradation (reviewed in Bartel, 2004)....

...For instance, endo-siRNAs processed by Dicer typically result in target degradation, whereas Dgcr8derived miRNAs more commonly act via translational repression (Ambros, 2004; Bartel, 2004)....
