The function of this domain is the dsRNA guided hydrolysis of ssRNA. Determination of the crystal structure of Argonaute reveals that PIWI is an RNase H domain, and identifies Argonaute as Slicer, the enzyme that cleaves mRNA in the RNAi RISC complex [2]. In addition, Mg+2 dependence and production of 3'-OH and 5' phosphate products are shared characteristics of RNaseH and RISC. The PIWI domain core has a tertiary structure belonging to the RNase H family of enzymes. RNase H fold proteins all have a five-stranded mixed beta-sheet surrounded by helices. By analogy to RNase H enzymes which cleave single-stranded RNA guided by the DNA strand in an RNA/DNA hybrid, the PIWI domain can be inferred to cleave single-stranded RNA, for example mRNA, guided by double stranded siRNA.

This entry represents the N-terminal domain of Argonaute (Ago) from Aquifex aeolicus. This domain is composed of an antiparallel five-stranded beta sheet core that has one alpha helix positioned along one face of the sheet. Ago use short ssDNA sequences as guides (gDNA) to bind complementary target strands, resulting in cleavage of the target RNA [1,2].	Domain

This is a Paz domain found in Argonaute proteins from Aquifex aeolicus bacteria. The PAZ core fold in Aquifex aeolicus bacteria Ago (Aa-Ago) proteins is closely related to the human hAgo1 PAZ domain [1]. Structural and functional studies of Aa-Ago indicate that conformational rearrangement of the PAZ domain may be critical for the catalytic cycle of Argonaute and the RNA-induced silencing complex [3].
