Many AGOs cleave target RNAs using an endoribonuclease activity termed 'slicing'. Slicing by DNA-guided prokaryotic AGOs has been studied in detail, but structural insights into RNA-guided slicing by eukaryotic AGOs are lacking. Here we present cryogenic electron microscopy structures of the Arabidopsis thaliana Argonaute10 (AtAgo10)-guide RNA complex with and without a target RNA representing a slicing substrate. The AtAgo10-guide-target complex adopts slicing-competent and slicing-incompetent conformations that are unlike known prokaryotic AGO structures. AtAgo10 slicing activity is licensed by docking target (t) nucleotides t9-t13 into a surface channel containing the AGO endoribonuclease active site. A β-hairpin in the L1 domain secures the t9-t13 segment and coordinates t9-t13 docking with extended guide-target pairing. Results show that prokaryotic and eukaryotic AGOs use distinct mechanisms for achieving target slicing and provide insights into small interfering RNA potency. |
