The N-terminal extension of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 1 is essential for microRNA activities.

The N-terminal extension of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 1 is essential for microRNA activities.

microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate target gene expression through their ARGONAUTE (AGO) effector protein, mainly AGO1 in Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition to the highly conserved N, PAZ, MID and PIWI domains with known roles in RNA silencing, AGO1 contains a long, unstructured N-terminal extension (NTE) of...
