Description | Argonaute proteins are involved in RNA interference (RNAi) and microRNA (miRNA) pathways. They can be classified into three paralogous groups: Argonaute-like proteins, which are similar to Arabidopsis thaliana AGO1; Piwi-like proteins, which are closely related to D. melanogaster PIWI (P-element induced wimpy testis); and the Caenorhabditis elegans-specific group 3 Argonautes [ ]. Protein argonaute-4 (AGO4) belongs to the first group (Argonaute-like proteins) [ ]. It is required for RNA-directed transcription and replication of the human hapatitis delta virus (HDV) []. |
