Argonaute proteins: Structural features, functions and emerging roles [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Research, 2020 Argonaute proteins are highly conserved in almost all organisms. They not only involve in the biogenesis of small regulatory RNAs, but also regulate gene expression and defend against foreign pathogen invasion via small RNA-mediated gene silencing ...

Argonaute Proteins: From Structure to Function in Development and Pathological Cell Fate Determination [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The highly conserved Argonaute protein family members play a central role in the regulation of gene expression networks, orchestrating the establishment and the maintenance of cell identity throughout the entire life cycle, as well as in several human ...

The Expanded Universe of Prokaryotic Argonaute Proteins [PDF]
mBio, 2018 Members of the ancient family of Argonaute (Ago) proteins are present in all domains of life. The common feature of Ago proteins is the ability to bind small nucleic acid guides and use them for sequence-specific recognition—and sometimes cleavage—of ...

Argonaute Proteins: Why Are They So Important for the Legume–Rhizobia Symbiosis? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Unlike most other land plants, legumes can fulfill their nitrogen needs through the establishment of symbioses with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia). Through this symbiosis, fixed nitrogen is incorporated into the food chain.

The MIME-seq technique allows to monitor the interaction of small non-coding RNAs with Argonaute proteins and their transfer to other cells [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe MIME-seq2.0 technique utilizes a chimeric methyltransferase engineered to bind Argonaute proteins (hereafter referred to MIME enzyme) to protect the terminal sugar of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) from oxidation, a reaction that inhibits unmodified
