Analysis of RNA Interference Pathways in C.elegans:Investigation of Argonaute Interactions in C. elegans using Yeast Two - Hybrid
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerRNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific silencing phenomenon that is conserved in animals, plants and some bacteria (Fire and Mello, 1998; Meister and Tuschl, 2004). At least 4 different AGO pathways are thought to function in the germline of C. elegans. In an effort to understand how these pathways remain independent from one another, we are using yeast two-hybrid to identify proteins that interact with and potentially regulate AGOs. The results showed colonies which grew on secondary selection plates indicated potential interacting proteins for the argonautes of interest.
