ago2 | Protein argonaute-2; Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by the RNA- induced silencing complex (RISC). The 'minimal RISC' appears to include ago2 bound to a short guide RNA such as a microRNA (miRNA) or short interfering RNA (siRNA). These guide RNAs direct RISC to complementary mRNAs that are targets for RISC-mediated gene silencing. The precise mechanism of gene silencing depends on the degree of complementarity between the miRNA or siRNA and its target. Binding of RISC to a perfectly complementary mRNA generally results in silencing due to endonucleolytic cleavage of the [...] (894 aa) | ||||
ago4 | Protein argonaute-4; Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs; Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily. (884 aa) | ||||
ago1 | Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type S; Belongs to the argonaute family. (880 aa) | ||||
piwil1 | CD74 molecule; Belongs to the argonaute family. (861 aa) | ||||
piwil2 | Piwi-like protein 2; Endoribonuclease that plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and preventing their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Plays an essential role in meiotic differentiation of spermatocytes, germ cell differentiation and in self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. During [...] (949 aa) | ||||
piwil3 | Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the argonaute family. (869 aa) | ||||
piwil4 | Branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, beta polypeptide; Belongs to the argonaute family. (822 aa) |
