Argonaute proteins are key effectors of eukaryotic RNA interference and, in prokaryotes, function in host genome defense. This entry represents a domain found at the N-terminus of the Marinitoga piezophila Argonaute (MpAgo) protein that uses 5'-hydroxylated guide RNAs to recognise and cleave single-stranded target sequences rather than the 5'-phosphorylated guides used by all known Argonautes [1]. This domain adopts alpha/beta structure consisting of four-stranded beta-sheet and two helices. Compared to other Argonaute proteins, this domain differs in both its secondary structure and its orientation relative to the MID/PIWI lobe.
This entry represents the middle domain of bacterial argonaute (Ago) [1,2]. Ago bind small RNA or DNA guides which provide base-pairing specificity for recognition and cleavage of complementary nucleic acid targets. Bacterial Ago adopt a bilobed stru ...
This entry represents the middle domain of bacterial argonaute (Ago) [1,2]. Ago bind small RNA or DNA guides which provide base-pairing specificity for recognition and cleavage of complementary nucleic acid targets. Bacterial Ago adopt a bilobed structure; an N-terminal and a PAZ domain constitute one lobe, the second one consists of a middle (MID) domain and the catalytic PIWI domain. This domain mediates the recognition of the 5' end of the guide [1,2].
