RNA-silencing protein with RNA. Molecular model of RNA silencing taking place by human piwi-like protein (purple) acting on short loops (green) of RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA silencing is the degradation of targeted RNA molecules,either to regulate gene expression,or as an antiviral defence. The piwi proteins target specific types of RNA known as piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) | |
