Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION 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).SUBUNIT Interacts with DDB1, DDX5, DDX6, DHX30, DHX36, DDX47, DICER1, 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. Interacts with APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G and APOBEC3H.INTERACTION Ubiquitinated on surface-exposed lysines by a SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 during target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD), a process that mediates degradation of microRNAs (miRNAs). Ubiquitination by the SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 leads to its subsequent degradation, thereby exposing miRNAs for degradation. ZSWIM8 recognizes and binds AGO1 when it is engaged with a TDMD target.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS Lacks RNA cleavage activity due to the absence of the conserved His at position 805, but also because it binds the RNA in a subtly different manner that precludes efficient cleavage.SIMILARITY Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.
