The schematic diagram shows the synthesis and mode of regulation of miRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The spherical cycles indicate the proteins/enzyme and co-factors responsible for the synthesis of the molecule. Also, the big spherical cycle at the beginning of the reaction indicated that the enzyme is responsible for both mRNA and miRNA synthesis.
