Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that trigger post-transcriptional gene silencing. These RNAs need to be associated with the Argonaute proteins to be functional. This assembly begins with loading of a miRNA duplex, followed by the ejection of one of the strands (passenger). The remaining strand (guide) together with the Argonaute protein forms a ribonucleoprotein effector complex (the RNA-induced...
