AGO2 | Protein argonaute-2; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger; Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily. (1217 aa) | ||||
Hexim | Hexamethylene bisacetamide inducible (Hexim) encodes an RNA binding protein. When associated with snRNA:7SK, it recruits and inhibits the positive transcription elongation factor encoded by Cdk9. Regulated release and re-sequestration of the product of Cdk9 by the snRNA:7SK snRNP plays an essential role in RNA polymerase II elongation control. (360 aa) |
