From transcription to translation: new insights in the structure and function of Argonaute protein
Argonaute proteins play a central role in gene silencing pathways mediated by small RNA molecules. The ancestral function of small RNA-dependent silencing is related to genome protection against parasitic nucleic acids, such as transposons and viruses. However, new classes of small RNAs are continuo...
