RNA interference (RNAi) is an intrinsic antiviral immune mechanism conserved in diverse eukaryotic organisms. However, the mechanism by which antiviral RNAi in mammals is regulated is poorly understood. In this study, we uncovered that the E3 ubiquitin ligase STIP1 homology and U-box-containing protein 1 (STUB1) was a new regulator of the RNAi machinery in mammals. We found that STUB1 interacted with and ubiquitinated AGO2, and targeted it for degradation in a chaperon-dependent manner. STUB1 pr ...[more]
