C3PO appears to act as a nuclease that hydrolyzes the passenger strand after cleavage by AGO2. C3PO could also be part of a DICER1-independent pathway for loading AGO2. AGO2 of humans may contain either miRNAs or siRNAs.
The mechanism that selects which strand is retained as the guide RNA is not well understood in humans. Overhanging nucleotides and strength of base-pairing at each end of the input duplex are observed to influence strand selection.
