Abstract: Abstract Argonaute proteins are present and conserved in all domains of life. Recently characterized prokaryotic Argonaute proteins (pAgos) participates in host defense by DNA interference. Here, we report that the Natronobacterium gregoryi Argonaute (NgAgo) enhances… read more here.

Abstract: We revealed the mechanism that explains how the NgAgo eliminates the invading foreign DNA and bacteriophage in bacterial cells at 37°C, and by leveraging this discovery, NgAgo can be programmed to target a plasmid or… read more here.
