Argonaute2 Is Essential for Mammalian Gastrulation and Proper Mesoderm Formation

Mammalian Argonaute proteins (EIF2C1−4) play an essential role in RNA-induced silencing. Here, we show that the loss of eIF2C2 (Argonaute2 or Ago2) results in gastrulation arrest, ectopic expression of Brachyury (T), and mesoderm expansion. We identify a genetic interaction between Ago2 and T, as Ag...
