A Prokaryotic Twist on Argonaute Function [PDF]
Argonaute proteins can be found in all three domains of life. In eukaryotic organisms, Argonaute is, as the functional core of the RNA-silencing machinery, critically involved in the regulation of gene expression.

Nuclear Argonaute protein NRDE-3 switches small RNA partners during embryogenesis to mediate temporal-specific gene regulatory activity [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved pathway that utilizes Argonaute proteins and their associated small RNAs to exert gene regulatory function on complementary transcripts.

Functional diversification of Argonautes in nematodes: an expanding universe [PDF]
In the last decade, many diverse RNAi (RNA interference) pathways have been discovered that mediate gene silencing at epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. The diversity of RNAi pathways is inherently linked to the evolution of Ago

RNA interference of Aspergillus flavus in response to Aspergillus flavus partitivirus 1 infection
RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the important defense responses against viral infection, but its mechanism and impact remain unclear in mycovirus infections.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), in association with Argonaute (AGO) proteins, direct repression by pairing to sites within mRNAs. Compared to pairing preferences of the miRNA seed region (nucleotides 2–8), preferences of the miRNA 3′ region are poorly understood ...

Understanding miRNA Based Gene Regulation in Parkinson’s Disease: An in silico Approach [PDF]
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, mainly characterized by depletion or insufficient release of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra of the midbrain.

Prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos) from mesophilic bacteria are attracting increasing attention for their genome editing potential. So far, it has been reported that KmAgo from Kurthia massiliensis can utilize DNA and RNA guide of any sequence to effectively

Barley Anther and Meiocyte Transcriptome Dynamics in Meiotic Prophase I
In flowering plants, successful germinal cell development and meiotic recombination depend upon a combination of environmental and genetic factors. To gain insights into this specialized reproductive development program we used short- and long-read RNA ...

ARGONAUTE PIWI domain and microRNA duplex structure regulate small RNA sorting in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Small RNAs (sRNAs) are loaded into ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins to induce gene silencing. In plants, the 5'-terminal nucleotide is important for sRNA sorting into different AGOs.
