The N-terminal domain of AGOs is the most variable domain. Compared with prokaryotic Argonautes, KpAGO (Kluyveromyces polysporus Argonaute) has numerous surface-exposed insertion segments, with a cluster of conserved insertions re-positioning the N domain, contributing to the formation of nucleic-acid-binding channel to enable full propagation of the 3' end of the guide RNA guide-target pairing. The guide strand is used by the RISC complex to specify interactions with target RNAs. If sequence complementarity between guide and target is extensive, AGO catalyses cleavage, resulting in slicing of the target RNA [1].

This domain is found in two families of proteins that are involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing. These are the Piwi family and the Dicer family, that includes the Carpel factory protein. The function of the domains is unknown but has been suggested to mediate complex formation between proteins of the Piwi and Dicer families by hetero-dimerisation. The three-dimensional structure of this domain has been solved [2-4]. The PAZ domain is composed of two subdomains. One subdomain is similar to the OB fold, albeit with a different topology. The OB-fold is well known as a single-stranded nucleic acid binding fold. The second subdomain is composed of a beta-hairpin followed by an alpha-helix. The PAZ domains shows low-affinity nucleic acid binding and appears to interact with the 3' ends of single-stranded regions of RNA in the cleft between the two subdomains. PAZ can bind the characteristic two-base 3' overhangs of siRNAs, indicating that although PAZ may not be a primary nucleic acid binding site in Dicer or RISC, it may contribute to the specific and productive incorporation of siRNAs and miRNAs into the RNAi pathway.

AGO forms part of the RNA-induced silencing complex that mediates the gene silencing pathway, RNA interference. The N domain blocks the nucleic acid-binding channel and prevents propagation of guide-target pairing beyond position 16 [1].
