[edit] Summary
| Description |
The PIWI domain of an argonaute protein from A. fulgidus, bound to a short double-stranded RNA fragment and illustrating the base-pairing and aromatic stacking stabilization of the bound conformation. The binding of the argonaute-containing RISC complex to the 5' end of the guide strand is critical in the process of RNA interference. The protein is shown colored by secondary structure and the dsRNA colored by element; a conserved tyrosine residue involved in aromatic stacking is shown in light blue, and the divalent cation (magnesium) is the gray sphere. |
