Timescales and bottlenecks in miRNA-dependent gene regulation

Application of a kinetic model of miRNA-mediated gene regulation to experimental data sets shows that the timescale of regulation is slower than previously assumed, due to bottlenecks imposed by miRNA turnover in the RNA-induced silencing complex and by slow protein decay.
