Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 115:E620-E629(2018). CC -!- FUNCTION: Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by the RNA- CC induced silencing complex (RISC). The 'minimal RISC' appears to include CC AGO2 bound to a short guide RNA such as a microRNA (miRNA) or short CC interfering RNA (siRNA). These guide RNAs direct RISC to complementary CC mRNAs that are targets for RISC-mediated gene silencing. The precise CC mechanism of gene silencing depends on the degree of complementarity CC between the miRNA or siRNA and its target. Binding of RISC to a CC perfectly complementary mRNA generally results in silencing due to CC endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA specifically by AGO2. Binding of CC RISC to a partially complementary mRNA results in silencing through CC inhibition of translation, and this is independent of endonuclease CC activity. May inhibit translation initiation by binding to the 7- CC methylguanosine cap, thereby preventing the recruitment of the CC translation initiation factor eIF4-E. May also inhibit translation CC initiation via interaction with EIF6, which itself binds to the 60S CC ribosomal subunit and prevents its association with the 40S ribosomal CC subunit. The inhibition of translational initiation leads to the CC accumulation of the affected mRNA in cytoplasmic processing bodies (P- CC bodies), where mRNA degradation may subsequently occur. In some cases CC RISC-mediated translational repression is also observed for miRNAs that CC perfectly match the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR). Can also up- CC regulate the translation of specific mRNAs under certain growth CC conditions. Binds to the AU element of the 3'-UTR of the TNF (TNF- CC alpha) mRNA and up-regulates translation under conditions of serum CC starvation. Also required for transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), in CC which short RNAs known as antigene RNAs or agRNAs direct the CC transcriptional repression of complementary promoter regions. Regulates CC lymphoid and erythroid development and function, and this is CC independent of endonuclease activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03031, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:15284456, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17626790, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19174539}.

Together, CC DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2 constitute the trimeric RISC loading complex CC (RLC), or micro-RNA (miRNA) loading complex (miRLC). Within the CC RLC/miRLC, DICER1 and TARBP2 are required to process precursor miRNAs CC (pre-miRNAs) to mature miRNAs and then load them onto AGO2. AGO2 bound CC to the mature miRNA constitutes the minimal RISC and may subsequently CC dissociate from DICER1 and TARBP2. Note however that the term RISC has CC also been used to describe the trimeric RLC/miRLC. The formation of CC RISC complexes containing siRNAs rather than miRNAs appears to occur CC independently of DICER1 (PubMed:16357216). Interacts with AGO1. Also CC interacts with DDB1, DDX5, DDX6, DDX20, DHX30, DHX36, DDX47, DHX9, CC ELAVL, FXR1, GEMIN4, HNRNPF, IGF2BP1, ILF3, IMP8, MATR3, PABPC1, PRMT5, CC P4HA1, P4HB, RBM4, SART3, TNRC6A, TNRC6B, UPF1 and YBX1. Interacts with CC the P-body components DCP1A and XRN1. Associates with polysomes and CC messenger ribonucleoproteins (mNRPs). Interacts with RBM4; the CC interaction is modulated under stress-induced conditions, occurs under CC both cell proliferation and differentiation conditions and in an CC RNA- and phosphorylation-independent manner. Interacts with LIMD1, WTIP CC and AJUBA (By similarity). Interacts with TRIM71 (PubMed:19898466, CC PubMed:22508726, PubMed:22735451). Interacts with APOBEC3G in an RNA- CC dependent manner. Interacts with APOBEC3A, APOBEC3C, APOBEC3F and CC APOBEC3H. Interacts with DICER1, TARBP2, EIF6, MOV10 and RPL7A (60S CC ribosome subunit); they form a large RNA-induced silencing complex CC (RISC).

Interacts with GARRE1 (By similarity). Interacts CC with GRB2; this interaction is important for the formation of a ternary CC complex containing GRB2, AGO2 and DICER1 (By similarity).

CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15284456}. CC -!- DOMAIN: The Piwi domain may perform RNA cleavage by a mechanism similar CC to that of RNase H. However, while RNase H utilizes a triad of Asp-Asp- CC Glu (DDE) for metal ion coordination, this protein appears to utilize a CC triad of Asp-Asp-His (DDH). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03031}.

CC -!- PTM: Ubiquitinated on surface-exposed lysines by a SCF-like E3 CC ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 during target- CC directed microRNA degradation (TDMD), a process that mediates CC degradation of microRNAs (miRNAs). Ubiquitination by the SCF-like E3 CC ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 leads to its CC subsequent degradation, thereby exposing miRNAs for degradation. ZSWIM8 CC recognizes and binds AGO2 when it is engaged with a TDMD target. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UKV8}. CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylation at Ser-388 by AKT3; leads to up-regulate CC translational repression of microRNA target and down-regulate CC endonucleolytic cleavage. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UKV8}. CC -!- PTM: A phosphorylation cycle of C-terminal serine cluster (Ser-825-Ser- CC 835) regulates the release of target mRNAs. Target-binding leads to CC phosphorylation of these residues by CSNK1A1, which reduces the CC affinity of AGO2 for mRNA and enables target release. The ANKRD52-PPP6C CC phosphatase complex dephosphorylates the residues, which primes AGO2 CC for binding a new target. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UKV8}.
