Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 6)
- The specificity of RNA interference depends on the concentration of Ago1, Ago3, and Ago4 relative to Ago2. (PMID:18771919)
- EIF2C4 protein is expressed in differentiating and terminally differentiated N-type cells more than in S- and I-type cells (PMID:19393748)
- EIF2C2-4 and PIWIL4 appear increased in advanced tumors with distant metastasis, suggesting they may promote tumor invasion (PMID:20146808)
- Chimeras with Ago4 N-terminal domains were defective in RISC activation & sometimes also in RNA loading. This highlights the pleiotropic role of the Ago N domain & emphasizes the unique position of human Ago4 within the Ago protein family. (PMID:23748378)
- The Importance of AGO 1 and 4 in Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulatory Function of tRF5-GluCTC, an Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Induced tRNA-Derived RNA Fragment. (PMID:33233493)

Protein argonaute-4 — Q9HCK5 (reviewed: Q9HCK5)
Alternative names: Argonaute RISC catalytic component 4, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 4
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9HCK5
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs. Also required for RNA-directed transcription and replication of the human hapatitis delta virus (HDV).
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with EIF4B, IMP8, PRMT5, TNRC6A and TNRC6B. Interacts with ZFP36.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. P-body.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated on surface-exposed lysines by a SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 during target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD), a process that mediates degradation of microRNAs (miRNAs). Ubiquitination by the SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing ZSWIM8 leads to its subsequent degradation, thereby exposing miRNAs for degradation. ZSWIM8 recognizes and binds AGO4 when it is engaged with a TDMD target.
Similarity. Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 51 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
