basic FUNCTION
| playing an important role in the eukaryotic peptide chain initiation process |
|
playing a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing |
|
critical for FMR1 function in neural development and synaptogenesis |
|
may act as a tumor-suppressor factor |
|
plays a crucial role in gene regulation and genome stability via biogenesis of small non-coding RNAs |
|
AGO1 and AGO2 facilitate spliceosome recruitment and modulate POLR2A elongation rate, thereby affecting alternative splicing |
|
AGO1-mediated translational desuppression of VEGFA may be associated with tumor angiogenesis and poor prognosis |
|
nuclear AGO1 regulates the expression of EIF2C1-bound genes that are implicated in oncogenic pathways including cell cycle progression, growth, and survival |
|
AGO1, AGO2 play a central role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, which is a cytoplasmic mechanism important for post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression |
