The PAZ pocket and dimerization drive CpAgo’s guide-independent and DNA-guided dual catalysis

Abstract Argonaute proteins (Agos) play essential roles in nucleic acid targeting across life domains. While eukaryotic Agos (eAgos) utilize small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) for RNA interference, the mechanisms driving prokaryotic Agos (pAgos) in bacterial defense remain underex...
