The base stacking interaction between the 5 base on the guide strand and a conserved tyrosine residue light blue is highlighted the stabilizing divalent cation magnesium is shown as a gray sphere. Argonaute proteins are the catalytic components of the RNA induced silencing complex RISC , the protein complex responsible for the gene silencing phenomenon known as RNA interference RNAi . Argonaute proteins bind small interfering RNA siRNA fragments and have endonuclease activity directed against messenger RNA mRNA strands that are base pair complementary to their bound siRNA fragment. The proteins are also partially responsible for selection of the guide strand and destruction of the passenger strand of the siRNA substrate. ref name Rand Rand TA, Petersen S, Du F, Wang X. 2005 .

  1. Karl Stetter

    Karl Otto Stetter born July 16, 1941 is a German microbiologist and authority on astrobiology . He is an expert on microbial life at high temperatures. Career Stetter was born in Munich and studied biology at the Technische Universit t Munich. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on Lactobacillus lactobacilli . From 1980 to 2002 he was professor at, and head of, the department of microbiology and of the Archaea center of the University of Regensburg . The majority of Professor Stetter s research has focused on sampling, isolating and characterizing archaeal organisms which comprise the third domain biology domain of life, particularly undiscovered extremely heat loving hyperthermophilic bacterium bacteria and Archaea , also called extremophile s, growing optimally between 80 and 113 C. Major discovery Nanoarchaeum equitans , an archaeal microorganism containing the world s smallest known genome , was discovered by Stetter in 2002 in a hydrothermal vent off the coast of Iceland . This archaebacterium was described in the scientific journal Nature in May 2002. Discoveries Among the other extremophiles discovered by Dr Stetter has been Pyrococcus furiosus , which was found on the Italian island of Vulcano Island Vulcano in 1981. This extremophile was the source of Pfu DNA polymerase. Stetter also discovered Aquifex aeolicus and Aquifex pyrophilus . Awards and memberships In 2003, Stetter was honored with the Leeuwenhoek Medal by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences , an award given every 10 years to the scientist who has made the most outstanding contributions to the advancement of microbiology.
