From: Circular RNAs’ cap-independent translation protein and its roles in carcinomas
The function of circular RNA. A CircRNAs act as a sponge of miRNAs and play the role of CeRNA, thereby regulating the expression of mRNA. B CircRNAs interact with proteins as follows: a. CircRNAs act as RBP sponges; b. CircRNAs bind to certain proteins to enhance their functions; c. CircRNAs act as protein scaffolds to promote the co-localization of enzymes and their substrates; C CircRNAs pass Combines with RNA pol II and U1 snRNP to promote the transcription of parental genes. D CircRNAs translate into proteins
