Expansion and Divergence of Argonaute Genes in the Oomycete Genus Phytophthora
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Modulation of gene expression through RNA interference is well conserved in eukaryotes and is involved in many cellular processes. In the oomycete Phytophthora, research on the small RNA machinery and function has started to reveal potential roles in the

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.

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 ...

Inducible and reversible inhibition of miRNA-mediated gene repression in vivo
eLife, 2021 Although virtually all gene networks are predicted to be controlled by miRNAs, the contribution of this important layer of gene regulation to tissue homeostasis in adult animals remains unclear.

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 ...

From transcription to translation: new insights in the structure and function of Argonaute protein
Biomolecular Concepts, 2012 Argonaute proteins play a central role in gene silencing pathways mediated by small RNA molecules. The ancestral function of small RNA-dependent silencing is related to genome protection against parasitic nucleic acids, such as transposons and viruses ...

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

Mechanistic Insights into the Protection Effect of Argonaute–RNA Complex on the HCV Genome
Biomolecules, 2022 While host miRNA usually plays an antiviral role, the relentless tides of viral evolution have carved out a mechanism to recruit host miRNA as a viral protector.

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-
