The Tetrahymena Argonaute-Binding Protein Giw1p Directs a Mature Argonaute-siRNA Complex to the Nucleus
Emerging evidence suggests that RNA interference (RNAi)-related processes act both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. However, the process by which the RNAi machinery is transported into the nucleus remains poorly understood. The Tetrahymena Argonaute protein Twi1p localizes to the nucleus and is crucial for small RNA-directed programmed DNA elimination. In this study, we identify Giw1p, whic...
متن کاملExpanded RNA-binding activities of mammalian Argonaute 2
Mammalian Argonaute 2 (Ago2) protein associates with microRNAs (miRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) forming RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs/miRNPs). In the present work, we characterize the RNA-binding and nucleolytic activity of recombinant mouse Ago2. Our studies show that recombinant mouse Ago2 binds efficiently to miRNAs forming active RISC. Surprisingly, we find that recombin...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of human Argonaute proteins affects small RNA binding
Argonaute (Ago) proteins are highly conserved between species and constitute a direct-binding platform for small RNAs including short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and Piwi interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Small RNAs function as guides whereas Ago proteins are the actual mediators of gene silencing. Although the major steps in RNA-guided gene silencing have been elucidated, not much i...
متن کاملArgonaute proteins
Quick guides Why did you move back to China? First of all, I feel extremely privileged to be educated and trained at the University of Minnesota. There are many superb scientists studying vision and brain imaging there. My collaboration with them led to some intriguing findings on visual adaptation, unconscious visual processing, and contextual modulation in early visual cortical areas. From th...
متن کاملArgonaute and Argonaute-Bound Small RNAs in Stem Cells.
Small RNAs are essential for a variety of cellular functions. Argonaute (AGO) proteins are associated with all of the different classes of small RNAs, and are indispensable in small RNA-mediated regulatory pathways. AGO proteins have been identified in various types of stem cells in diverse species from plants and animals. This review article highlights recent progress on how AGO proteins and A...
