Summary: This gene encodes a member of the argonaute family of proteins, which associate with small RNAs and have important roles in RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA silencing. This protein binds to microRNAs (miRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and represses translation of mRNAs that are complementary to them. It is also involved in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions that are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs), as well as in the degradation of miRNA-bound mRNA targets. A recent study showed this gene to be an authentic stop codon readthrough target, and that its mRNA could give rise to a C-terminally extended isoform by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

Title: lncRNA PVT1 aggravates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by targeting the miR-187-3p/AGO1 axis.
Knockdown (KD) of AUF1 resulted in (1) transient upregulation of the mRNA level as well as an advancement of translation onset time (TOT) from 6 to 5 h post-serum addition, (2) loss of miRNA loading on AGO1 and AGO2 and (3) reduction in the level of AGO-1 and AGO-2 bound mRNA.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

mRNA and Protein(s)

NM_001191765.2 → NP_001178694.1 protein argonaute-1 isoform 1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes two isoforms, which result from the use of alternative in-frame translation termination codons. The shorter isoform (1) results from translation termination at the upstream UGA stop codon, while the longer isoform (1x) results from UGA stop codon readthrough to the downstream UAG termination codon. This RefSeq represents the shorter isoform (1).
