let-7 represses translation initiation in Caenorhabditis elegans which requires the GW182 proteins AIN-1 and AIN-2.
Title: Repression of C. elegans microRNA targets at the initiation level of translation requires GW182 proteins.
GW182 family proteins AIN-1 and AIN-2 act redundantly to regulate the expression of miRNA targets, but not miRNA biogenesis.

AIN-1 gene is identified and found to regulate developmental timing [AIN-1]
Title: The developmental timing regulator AIN-1 interacts with miRISCs and may target the argonaute protein ALG-1 to cytoplasmic P bodies in C. elegans.
