The structural basis for RNA slicing by human Argonaute2
2024-08-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Argonaute (AGO) proteins associate with guide RNAs to form complexes that slice transcripts that pair to the guide. This slicing drives post-transcriptional gene-silencing pathways that are essential for many eukaryotes and the basis for new clinical therapies. Despite this importance, structural information on eukaryotic AGOs in a fully paired, slicing-competent conformation—hypothesized to be i...
