Gene: AGO1
Official Full Name: argonaute RISC component 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the argonaute family of proteins, which associate with small RNAs and have important roles in RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA silencing. This protein binds to microRNAs (miRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and represses translation of mRNAs that are complementary to them. It is also involved in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions that are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs), as well as in the degradation of miRNA-bound mRNA targets. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A recent study showed this gene to be an authentic stop codon readthrough target, and that its mRNA could give rise to an additional C-terminally extended isoform by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

AGO1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the Argonaute 1 (AGO1) protein's functions in post-transcriptional gene regulation. These cell lines have been meticulously developed through CRISPR/Cas9 technology to provide researchers with a resource for investigating the biological roles of AGO1 in various cellular processes, such as RNA interference, microRNA-mediated gene silencing, and the modulation of mRNA stability. By completely inhibiting AGO1 expression, these knockout cell lines allow for a clearer understanding of its contributions to gene regulatory networks and the downstream effects on cellular behavior.
The key mechanisms underlying the functionality of AGO1 are rooted in its role as a core component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which mediates the degradation of mRNA or translational repression in response to small RNA molecules. Disruptions in AGO1 signaling pathways have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting its critical relevance in both research and therapeutic contexts.
These AGO1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an unparalleled scientific resource, offering a precise platform for dissecting the nuances of RNA regulation and the molecular basis of disease. Compared to traditional models, these knockout lines offer specificity, allowing researchers to avoid confounding effects from off-target gene expressions. This specificity makes them especially valuable for rigorous experimental setups and reproducible results.
Researchers and clinicians will find these cell lines indispensable for advancing their work in gene therapy, functional genomics, and the broader field of molecular biology. Not only do they provide a reliable model for studying AGO1, but they also open avenues for potential therapeutic interventions as insights into gene regulation deepen.
