Pantazopoulou et al. find that AGO2 resides in open-ended tunneling nanotubes and close-ended cytokinetic bridges. At the latter location, AGO2 colocalizes with cell division components and the authors show that AGO2 depletion impairs cell division ...

Selective autophagy degrades DICER and AGO2 and regulates miRNA activity [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) form a class of short RNAs (∼ 21 nucleotides) that post-transcriptionally regulate partially complementary messenger RNAs. Each miRNA may target tens to hundreds of transcripts to control key biological processes. Although the biochemical reactions underpinning miRNA biogenesis and activity are relatively well defined and the ...

Control of hepatic gluconeogenesis by Argonaute2
Objective: The liver performs a central role in regulating energy homeostasis by increasing glucose output during fasting. Recent studies on Argonaute2 (Ago2), a key RNA-binding protein mediating the microRNA pathway, have illustrated its role in ...

Hepatitis B virus-specific miRNAs and Argonaute2 play a role in the viral life cycle. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:Disease-specific serum miRNA profiles may serve as biomarkers and might reveal potential new avenues for therapy. An HBV-specific serum miRNA profile associated with HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) particles has recently been reported, and AGO2 ...

Comment on ‘Strong reduction of AGO2 expression in melanoma and cellular consequences’ [PDF]
Sir, We would like to congratulate Voller et al (2013) on their recent study showing an unchanged mRNA AGO2 expression in melanoma and a strong reduction of AGO2 expression on protein level. This goes along with the findings in our study on the miRNA processing machinery performed in melanoma, which likewise has previously shown an unchanged mRNA ...

Essential role for Argonaute2 protein in mouse oogenesis
Background Argonaute2 protein (Ago2) is a key component of RNA-induced gene silencing complex, which is crucial for microRNA-mediated repression of target genes.

Deep Sequence Analysis of AgoshRNA Processing Reveals 3’ A Addition and Trimming
The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, in which microprocessor and Dicer collaborate to process microRNAs (miRNA), was recently expanded by the description of alternative processing routes. In one of these noncanonical pathways, Dicer action is replaced by
