Cui, T.J. (author), Joo, C. (author)Argonaute (Ago) proteins are of key importance in many cellular processes. In eukaryotes, Ago can induce translational repression followed by deadenylation and degradation of mRNA molecules through base pairing of microRNAs (miRNAs) with a complementary target on a mRNA sequence. In bacteria, Ago eliminates foreign DNA through base pairing of...review 2019
