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
AGO5 belongs to a group of argonaute proteins that are catalytic components of the RNA-including Silencing complex (RISC). This protein complex is responsible for gene silencing (RNAi). It may be related to antiviral RNA silencing.
