EIF2C1 / AGO1 Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A recent study showed this gene to be an authentic stop codon readthrough target, and that its mRNA could give rise to an additional C-terminally extended isoform by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

Uniprot Description
AGO1: Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) or short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs. Also required for transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions which are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs). Interacts with DDB1, DDX5, DDX6, DHX30, DHX36, DDX47, DICER1, EIF2C2/AGO2, ELAVL1, HNRNPF, IGF2BP1, ILF3, IMP8, MATR3, MOV10, PABPC1, PRMT5, RBM4, SART3, TNRC6B, UPF1 and YBX1. Associates with polysomes and messenger ribonucleoproteins (mNRPs). Interacts with LIMD1, WTIP and AJUBA. Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.
