Term Name:	mRNA base-pairing translational repressor activity
Synonyms:	mRNA base-pairing post-transcriptional repressor activity, mRNA base-pairing posttranscriptional repressor activity, mRNA binding involved in cosuppression, mRNA binding involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing, mRNA binding involved in posttranscriptional gene silencing, mRNA binding involved in PTGS, mRNA binding involved in quelling, mRNA binding translation repressor activity, RNA binding involved in cosuppression, RNA binding involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing, RNA binding involved in posttranscriptional gene silencing, RNA binding involved in PTGS, RNA binding involved in quelling, translational inhibitor activity via mRNA base-pairing
Definition:	A translation repressor activity that acts by base-pairing with an mRNA. The binding can result in targeting the mRNA for degradation or interfering with mRNA translation, hence resulting in posttranscriptional gene silencing.
