We determined cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of wild-type (WT) AGO1 and the recurrent, severe causative ΔF180 mutant. AGO1(ΔF180) unexpectedly rearranges the hydrophobic core of the L1 domain to preserve the overall RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) architecture and recognize guide RNAs similarly to WT. Functionally, the mutant binds target RNAs like WT but more frequently retains passenger strands, implicating a defect in RISC assembly. Biochemical assays of ΔF180 and L190P mutants revealed normal duplex loading but impaired passenger ejection, exposing guide 3' ends to 3'→5' exonucleases and generating abnormally short ~11-nucleotide RNAs. In cells, AGO1(ΔF180), AGO1(G199S), and corresponding AGO2 mutants likewise produced truncated guides. Together, these findings support a model in which defective passenger ejection underlies the pathology of AGO-associated NDDs by rendering microRNAs bound to AGO syndrome mutants susceptible to aberrant 3' trimming. |
