RanBP2/Nup358 enhances miRNA activity by sumoylating Argonautes. by Qingtang Shen, Yifan E Wang, Mathew Truong, Kohila Mahadevan, Jingze J Wu, Hui Zhang, Jiawei Li, Harrison W Smith, Craig A Smibert, Alexander F Palazzo

“…Our data indicates that soon after its production, the IL6 messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) recruits Argonautes bound to let-7 microRNA. After this mRNP is exported to the cytosol, RanBP2 sumoylates mRNP-associated Argonautes, thereby stabilizing them and enforcing mRNA silencing. …”

Argonaute2 suppresses Drosophila fragile X expression preventing neurogenesis and oogenesis defects. by Anita S-R Pepper, Rebecca W Beerman, Balpreet Bhogal, Thomas A Jongens

“…Over-expression of dFMR1 also causes specific neuronal and behavioral abnormalities. We have found that Argonaute2 (Ago2), the core component of the small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway, regulates dfmr1 expression. …”

Quantifying argonaute proteins in and out of GW/P-bodies: Implications in microRNA activities by Leung, Anthony K. L., Sharp, Phillip A.

“…The action of miRNAs is mediated through their associations with Argonaute proteins and mRNA targets. Previous studies indicated that though the majority of Argonaute proteins is diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm, a small fraction is consistently observed to be concentrated in a cytoplasmic compartment called GW/P-bodies. …”

Genome-wide analysis of mRNAs regulated by Drosha and Argonaute proteins in Drosophila melanogaster. by Rehwinkel, J, Natalin, P, Stark, A, Brennecke, J, Cohen, S, Izaurralde, E

“…To identify transcripts regulated by silencing pathways at the genomic level, we examined mRNA expression profiles in Drosophila melanogaster cells depleted of four Argonaute paralogs (i.e., AGO1, AGO2, PIWI, or Aubergine) that play essential roles in RNA silencing. …”
