Ago is a DNA-guided ssDNA endonuclease that may play a role in defense against invading genetic elements that uses short ssDNA sequences as guides (gDNA) to bind complementary target strands resulting in slicing of the target DNA (tDNA) [1,2].

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.

They share a common molecular architecture, with the C-terminal lobe consisting of the middle (Mid) and PIWI (P element wimpy testis) domains and the N-terminal lobe containing the N-terminal and PIWI-Argonaute-Zwille (PAZ) domains. Archaeal argonaute proteins are guided by 5'-phosphorylated DNA strands and exclusively process cognate DNA targets. This entry represents the N-terminal domain of the archaeal argonaute protein found in M.jannaschii. This domain consists of a four stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and an alpha-helix [1].
