Supposedly, the 5' LINE1 UTR that codes for the sense promoter for LINE1 transcription also encodes the antisense promoter for the miRNA that becomes the substrate for siRNA production.
This approach can be implemented to design self-assembled triplex structures from any other miR combination, or from other genetic materials including antisense DNA or siRNA to treat a range of diseases.
These two complexes localize in a siRNA -dependent manner on chromosomes, at the site of heterochromatin assembly.
