Abstract	Argonautes are proteins found in animals, protists, archaea, eubacteria, fungi and plants alike. These proteins are mostly categorized as uncharacterized proteins in most organisms. In those organisms, where Argonautes have been found and characterized, they act as slicers of various non-coding RNAs, in conjunction with the latter’s target, the cognate mRNAs. This process leads to the destruction of these mRNAs, and thus they are ‘silenced’, rendering them function-less. The work mentioned in this paper includes detection of nuclear export signals (NESs), acetylation sites and above all, phosphorylation sites. It can be thus concluded that similar studies, using a similar work plan, can be undertaken for other domains of life, as well, to increase our knowledge about the Argonautes and their various functions.
