Required for formation of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). Component of the RISC loading complex (RLC), also known as the micro-RNA (miRNA) loading complex (miRLC), which is composed of DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2. Within the RLC/miRLC, DICER1 and TARBP2 are required to process precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) to mature miRNAs and then load them onto AGO2. AGO2 bound to the mature miRNA constitutes the minimal RISC and may subsequently dissociate from DICER1 and TARBP2. May also play a role in the production of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by DICER1. {Sequence AnalysisHAMAP- Rule:MF_03034, Experimental EvidencePubMed:15973356, Experimental EvidencePubMed:16142218, Experimental EvidencePubMed:16271387, Experimental EvidencePubMed:16357216, Experimental EvidencePubMed:16424907, Experimental EvidencePubMed:17452327, Experimental EvidencePubMed:18178619}. (Microbial infection) Binds to the HIV-1 TAR RNA which is located in the long terminal repeat (LTR) of HIV-1, and stimulates translation of TAR-containing RNAs (PubMed:2011739, PubMed:11438532, PubMed:12475984). This is achieved in part at least by binding to and inhibiting EIF2AK2/PKR, thereby reducing phosphorylation and inhibition of EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha (PubMed:11438532). May also promote translation of TAR-containing RNAs independently of EIF2AK2/PKR (PubMed:12475984). Mediates recruitment of FTSJ3 methyltransferase to HIV-1 RNA, leading to 2'-O-methylation of the viral genome, allowing HIV-1 to escape the innate immune system (PubMed:30626973). {Experimental EvidencePubMed:11438532, Experimental EvidencePubMed:12475984, Experimental EvidencePubMed:2011739, Experimental EvidencePubMed:30626973}.
