Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite with variable DNA content and complex ploidity, has defied most efforts aimed at gene depletion using classical genetic methods. In this study, we identified and characterized two proteins involved in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, RNase III and AGO2. Our results strengthen the findings that an RNAi pathway does exist in this parasite.
