RNA Interference (RNAi): Mechanism

RNAi is a sequence-specific gene-silencing pathway. A delivered siRNA duplex is loaded into RISC, the guide strand directs target recognition, and complementary mRNA is cleaved to reduce protein expression.

🚚

Delivery

siRNA reaches the cytosol through delivery or conjugation strategy.

⚙️

RISC Loading

Guide/passenger bias controls strand selection.

🧬

Guide Retention

The guide strand remains active in Ago2/RISC.

🎯

mRNA Binding

Complementary target mRNA is recognized.

✂️

Silencing

mRNA cleavage reduces protein expression.
