Functional Characterization of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Entamoeba histolytica</named-content> Argonaute Proteins Reveals a Repetitive DR-Rich Motif Region That Controls Nuclear Localization

ABSTRACT The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway regulates gene expression in many eukaryotic organisms. Argonaute (Ago) proteins, together with bound small RNAs (sRNAs), are key effectors that mediate gene silencing function. However, there is limited knowledge of Ago proteins and their functions in no...
