A Prokaryotic Twist on Argonaute Function [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2015
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]

open access: yeseLife
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]

open access: hybrid, 2013
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the important defense responses against viral infection, but its mechanism and impact remain unclear in mycovirus infections.

MicroRNA 3′-compensatory pairing occurs through two binding modes, with affinity shaped by nucleotide identity and position

open access: yeseLife, 2022
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]

open access: yesInternational Journal Bioautomation, 2020
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.

Characterization of a Programmable Argonaute Nuclease from the Mesophilic Bacterium Rummeliibacillus suwonensis

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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.
