Argonaute (Ago) 2–dependent siRNA activities of precursor miR-122 molecules in wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and Ago2−/− MEFs. (A) GFP-based siRNA assays in the presence of pre-miR-122 molecules, as indicated. Experiments were done as described in Figure 2D. Quantitation is shown as the ratio of full-length GFP mRNA to total (full-length plus cleaved) GFP mRNA and represents at least three independent replicates. Error bars, SEM. (B) Rescue of siRNA activities by transfection of plasmids encoding chimeric Flag-Ago2 proteins. Experiments were performed as in A but with the addition of plasmids encoding either Flag-tagged Ago2 or Flag-tagged BAP proteins. Quantitation is shown as the ratio of full-length GFP mRNA to total (full-length plus cleaved) GFP mRNA and represents at least three independent replicates. Error bars, SEM.
