A Seed Mismatch Enhances Argonaute2-Catalyzed Cleavage and Partially Rescues Severely Impaired Cleavage Found in Fish

The RNAi pathway provides both innate immunity and efficient gene-knockdown tools in many eukaryotic species, but curiously not in zebrafish. We discovered that RNAi is less effective in zebrafish at least partly because Argonaute2-catalyzed mRNA slicing is impaired. This defect is due to two mutati...
