Are Argonaute-Associated Tiny RNAs Junk, Inferior miRNAs, or a New Type of Functional RNAs?
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 The biosynthesis pathways of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been well characterized with the identification of the required components. miRNAs are synthesized from the transcripts of miRNA genes and other RNAs, such as introns, transfer RNAs, ribosomal RNAs ...

Environmental factors affecting RNAi efficacy: Temperature but not plant cultivar influences Colorado potato beetle's response to insecticidal dsRNA. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolColorado potato beetle's RNA interference (RNAi) response was enhanced when insecticidal dsactin was consumed at high temperatures. The enhanced RNAi outcomes at high temperatures were not a function of dose or the expression of core RNAi genes. The potato cultivar consumed by Colorado potato beetle larvae did not affect RNAi outcomes, but larvae did ...

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in the cancer transcriptome [PDF]
, 2016 The cellular lifetime includes stages such as differentiation, proliferation, division, senescence and apoptosis.These stages are driven by a strictly ordered process of transcription dynamics.

The ribosomal protein RACK1 is required for microRNA function in both C. elegans and humans [PDF]
, 2011 Despite the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gene regulation, it is unclear how the miRNA-Argonaute complex-or miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC)-can regulate the translation of their targets in such diverse ways.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plant argonautes (AGOs) play important roles in the defense responses against viruses. The expression of Nicotiana benthamiana AGO5 gene (NbAGO5) is highly induced by Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) infection; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Molecular medicine of microRNAs: structure, function and implications for diabetes [PDF]
, 2008 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous small noncoding RNA molecules, of 19–28 nucleotides in length. In humans, up to 3% of all genes are estimated to encode these evolutionarily conserved sequences.

AGO unchained: Canonical and non-canonical roles of Argonaute proteins in mammals
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020 Argonaute (AGO) proteins play key roles in animal physiology by binding to small RNAs and regulating the expression of their targets. In mammals, they do so through two distinct pathways: the miRNA pathway represses genes through a multiprotein complex ...

Nucleotide bias of DCL and AGO in plant anti-virus gene silencing [PDF]
, 2010 Plant Dicer-like (DCL) and Argonaute (AGO) are the key enzymes involved in anti-virus post-transcriptional gene silencing (AV-PTGS). Here we show that AV-PTGS exhibited nucleotide preference by calculating a relative AV-PTGS efficiency on processing ...

Plants, 2019 Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) are natural transcripts that can act as endogenous sponges of microRNAs (miRNAs), modulating miRNA action upon target mRNAs. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are one among the various classes of ceRNAs. They are produced from a

Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post-transcriptional RNA silencing. [PDF]
, 2014 microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-
