How does antisense RNA inhibit translation?

How does antisense RNA inhibit translation? Summary. Most antisense RNAs in bacteria inhibit translation by competing with ribosomes for translation initiation regions (TIRs) on nascent mRNA. This may involve ribosome sliding to a transiently open tisB TIR. IstR-1 competes with ribosomes by base pairing to the standby site located ∼100 nucleotides upstream. How might antisense … Continue reading How does antisense RNA inhibit translation?
