  • AGO4 (Argonaute 4) belongs to a group of argonaute proteins which are catalytic component of the RNA-incudes silencing complex (RISC). This protein complex is responsible for the gene silencing (RNAi).

  • AGO expression may be tissue specific and using floral tissue is recommended where most of the AGOs are expressed the highest. Use of proteasome inhibitors as MG132 can help to stabilize AGO proteins during extraction procedure. Use a 6% gel for protein separation, which is run longer to avoid a cross-reactivity at ca. 40 kDa.Binds endogenous siRNAs, preference for 24nt siRNAs with 5' A.Note that the AGO4 antibody reacts with the NEB prestained protein marker.
