Function
Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The 'minimal RISC' appears to include AGO2 bound to a short guide RNA such as a microRNA (miRNA) or short interfering RNA (siRNA). These guide RNAs direct RISC to complementary mRNAs that are targets for RISC-mediated gene silencing. The precise mechanism of gene silencing depends on the degree of complementarity between the miRNA or siRNA and its target. Binding of RISC to a perfectly complementary mRNA generally results in silencing due to endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA specifically by AGO2. Binding of RISC to a partially complementary mRNA results in silencing through inhibition of translation, and this is independent of endonuclease activity. May inhibit translation initiation by binding to the 7-methylguanosine cap, thereby preventing the recruitment of the translation initiation factor eIF4-E. May also inhibit translation initiation via interaction with EIF6, which itself binds to the 60S ribosomal subunit and prevents its association with the 40S ribosomal subunit. The inhibition of translational initiation leads to the accumulation of the affected mRNA in cytoplasmic processing bodies (P-bodies), where mRNA degradation may subsequently occur. In some cases RISC-mediated translational repression is also observed for miRNAs that perfectly match the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR). Can also up-regulate the translation of specific mRNAs under certain growth conditions. Binds to the AU element of the 3'-UTR of the TNF mRNA and up-regulates translation under conditions of serum starvation. Also required for transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), in which short RNAs known as antigene RNAs or agRNAs direct the transcriptional repression of complementary promoter regions
Catalytic activity
Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'-phosphomonoester.
Subcellular location
Cytoplasm, P-body, Nucleus
Structure
(Microbial infection) Interacts with human herpesvirus 8 protein MTA/ORF57; this interaction inhibits P-body formation
Post-translational modification
Hydroxylated. 4-hydroxylation appears to enhance protein stability but is not required for miRNA-binding or endonuclease activity
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) (PubMed:33184234, PubMed:33184237). Ubiquitination by the SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 leads to its subsequent degradation, thereby exposing miRNAs for degradation (PubMed:33184234, PubMed:33184237). ZSWIM8 recognizes and binds AGO2 when it is engaged with a TDMD target (PubMed:33184237)
Phosphorylated. A phosphorylation cycle of C-terminal serine cluster (Ser-824-Ser-834) regulates the release of target mRNAs. Target-binding leads to phosphorylation of these residues by CSNK1A1, which reduces the affinity of AGO2 for mRNA and enables target release. The ANKRD52-PPP6C phosphatase complex dephosphorylates the residues, which primes AGO2 for binding a new target
Phosphorylation at Ser-387 by AKT3; leads to up-regulate translational repression of microRNA target and down-regulate endonucleolytic cleavage
Involvement in disease
Lessel-Kreienkamp syndrome
An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability of variable degree, and speech and language delay apparent from infancy or early childhood. Behavioral disorders are observed in most patients. Additional variable features include seizures, hypotonia, gait abnormalities, visual and cardiac defects, and non-specific facial dysmorphism.
