Descripción

General description

Protein argonaute-1 (UniProt Q9UL18; also known as Argonaute1, Argonaute RISC catalytic component 1, eIF-2C 1, eIF2C 1, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 1, hAgo1, Putative RNA-binding protein Q99) is encoded by the AGO1 (also known as EIF2C, EIF2C1) gene (Gene ID 26523) in human. Ago1 belongs to the family of argonaute proteins involved in gene expression by regulating gene transcription and RNA splicing in the nucleus, as well as by regulating posttranscriptional gene silencing mediated by siRNAs and microRNAs in the cytosol. Ago1 is shown to interact with chromatin modifiers, splicing factors, and RNA polymerase II. Ago1 and the related Ago2 are also shown to target Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNÁ 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) in an miR-122-dependent manner, resulting in viral RNA stability and translation stimulation.
