Abstract

We found that sulfisomidine, a sulfonamide antibiotic, potently binds to the Piwi/Argonaute/Zwille (PAZ) domain of human Argonaute protein 2 and inhibits RNA interference (RNAi). To elucidate the effect on RNAi of strong affinity of the 3′-ends in small interfering RNA (siRNA) to the PAZ domain, chemically modified siRNAs bearing sulfisomidine at the 3′-end were synthesized.
