AGO1 | Protein argonaute-1; Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) or short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs. Also required for transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions which are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs). (857 aa) | ||||
ZNF8 | Zinc finger protein 8; Transcriptional repressor. May modulate BMP and TGF-beta signal transduction, through its interaction with SMAD proteins. Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. (575 aa) |
