Mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs: are the answers in sight? (2008, background): “The most important and best-characterized components of miRNPs are proteins of the Argonaute famil”
Regulation of mRNA translation and stability by microRNAs. (2010, background): “Many Argonaute paralogs are encoded in metazoan and plant genomes but only some, known as AGO proteins, function in miRNA or both miRNA and siRNA pathways; others are dedicated to the function of piRNAs in germ cells or to other classes of small RNAs (40).”
Noncoding transcription by RNA Polymerase Pol IVb/Pol V mediates transcriptional silencing of overlapping and adjacent genes (2008, positive): “In plants and fission yeast, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of 20–25 nt that are generated from long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) precursors by dicer endonuclease(s) bind to argonaute (AGO) proteins and guide chromatin modifications to homologous DNA sequences (Baulcombe, 2006; Brodersen and Voinnet”
The rise of regulatory RNA (2014, background): “…in their biogenesis and function, notably Drosha 76 , Dicer 77 and multiple Argonaute (Ago) proteins 78 , the latter of which were already known to play central roles in differentiation and development, 79 but are now known to also be involved in defence against RNA viruses in many organisms 80 .”
Identification of Human microRNA Targets From Isolated Argonaute Protein Complexes (2007, background): “12,13 Argonaute proteins are highly conserved and contain PAZ (PIWI-Argonaute-zwille) and PIWI domains.”
A human snoRNA with microRNA-like functions. (2008, background): “Argonaute (Ago) proteins are the cellular binding partners of small RNAs and form the core of gene silencing effector complexes (Parker and Barford, 2006; Peters and Meister, 2007).”
DNA methylation of retrotransposon genes is regulated by Piwi family members MILI and MIWI2 in murine fetal testes. (2008, neutral): “Post-transcriptional gene silencing by AGO subfamily-associated miRNAs or siRNAs has been reported (Peters and Meister 2007).”
