DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays critical roles in gene silencing, development, and the maintenance of genome integrity. In Arabidopsis, DNA methylation is established by DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLTRANSFERASE 2 (DRM2) and is targeted by 24 nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) th...
ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis thaliana 
Protein-protein interaction between DNA dependent RNA polymerase IV and RNA dependent RNA polymerase2. The coupled activities of the physically associated polymerases lead to the biogenesis of dsRNAs that serve as precursors of 24nt siRNAs.

In plants, heterochromatin is maintained by a small RNA-based gene silencing mechanism known as RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RdDM requires the non-redundant functions of two plant-specific DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (Pol) Pol IV and Pol V. Pol IV plays a major role in siRNA biogenesis, w...
ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis thaliana 
24 nucleotide siRNAs are central players in RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), a process that establishes DNA methylation at transposable elements to ensure genome stability. The plant-specific RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV) is required for siRNA biogenesis and is thought to transcribe RdDM loci to pr...
ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis thaliana 
RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV) transcribes transposable elements (TEs) into precursors for small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that guide DNA methylation to silence these potentially dangerious mobile elements in plants. Pol IV is recruited to TEs via SNF2-like CLASSY (CLSY) proteins. How Pol IV evolved to ...

Epigenomic profiles of Brachypodium distachyon mutants deficient in RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV)
Deficiency of proteostasis and RNA metabolism are increasingly recognized as critical drivers of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we focused on RNA polymerase II (Pol2) as the converging point of these two elements to understand how transcriptional machinery is affected by ALS-associated V...
ORGANISM(S): Homo Sapiens (human) 
We used a two-component transgene system to study the RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM) and transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) in Arabidopsis. By profiling the small RNA population in  mutants defected in RdDM or RNA polymerase II-transcribed trigger for generating silencing siRNA, we investiga...
ORGANISM(S): Arabidopsis thaliana 
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark in many eukaryotic organisms. De novo DNA methylation in plants can be achieved by the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, where the plant-specific DNA-dependent RNA polymerase Pol IV transcribes target sequences to initiate 24-nt siRNA produ...
