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) | ||||
gw | Protein Gawky; Required for gene silencing mediated by micro-RNAs (miRNAs). Silences both polyadenylated and deadenylated mRNAs. Required for miRNA-mediated translational repression and mRNA decay. Not required for miRNA target recognition. Necessary to initiate but not to maintain silencing. Promotes mRNA deadenylation through the recruitment of the CCR4-NOT and PAN complexes and promotes decapping by the DCP1-DCP2 complex. Dissociates from silenced mRNAs after deadenylation. Required for completion of nuclear divisions during early embryonic development. Belongs to the GW182 family. (1384 aa) | ||||
AGO1 | Argonaute-1, isoform A; Argonaute-1 (AGO1) encodes an Argonaute/Piwi family protein, which interacts with microRNAs to form miRNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISCs). miRISCs are guided to target and repress mRNAs either by transcript destabilisation, translational inhibition, or both.
