2. Expression of FLAG-tagged argonautes in Dictyostelium discoideum
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologiAbstract : Argonautes are conserved RNA-binding proteins that can regulate gene expression post transcriptionally through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This is done through the use of small RNAs, e.g. sRNAs that act as a guide for the argonautes, allowing for sequence-specific binding to the target site. READ MORE

3. Search for the Argonaute protein that governs miRNA regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through RNA interference. These small RNAs enact gene silencing by forming a RNA-inducing silencing complex together with the effector protein Argonaute. The function of the Argonautes in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is not yet fully understood. READ MORE
