acts in three
different ways to prevent expression of the MAT2A gene: 1) by winding around the MAT2A gene to create a DNA: RNA triple helix structure locking down the MAT2A gene promoter, 2) by binding the messenger RNA product of the MAT2A gene and preventing it being used for MAT2A protein synthesis and 3) transferring MAT2A messenger RNA into intracellular vesicles that are subsequently ejected from the
cell.
