Why
This study identifies the human AGO–HSP90–p23 complex (AMC), which captures AGO in an RNA-free state, faithfully recapitulating de novo RISC assembly.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
Understanding the RISC assembly mechanism establishes the AMC as a molecular tool for designing improved small interfering RNA therapeutics, potentially leading to new treatments for various diseases.
