A germline-specific class of small RNAs binds mammalian Piwi proteins
TL;DR: It is shown that MIWI, a murine Piwi protein, binds a previously uncharacterized class of ∼29–30-nucleotide RNAs that are highly abundant in testes and are named Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), suggesting a role in gametogenesis.

The p21 inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases controls DNA replication by interaction with PCNA
TL;DR: It is shown that p21 directly inhibits PCNA-dependent DNA replication in the absence of a cyclin/CDK, and blocks the ability of PCNA to activateDNA polymerase δ, the principal replicative DNA polymerase.

Argonaute2, a Link Between Genetic and Biochemical Analyses of RNAi
Scott Hammond,Sabrina Boettcher,Amy A. Caudy,Ryuji Kobayashi,Gregory J. Hannon,Gregory J. Hannon +5 more
TL;DR: Biochemical purification of the RNAi effector nuclease from cultured Drosophila cells reveals that one constituent of this complex is a member of the Argonaute family of proteins, which are essential for gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, Neurospora, and Arabidopsis.
