Metal A and metal B sites of nuclear RNA polymerases Pol IV and Pol V are required for siRNA-dependent DNA methylation and gene silencing. [PDF]
Plants are unique among eukaryotes in having five multi-subunit nuclear RNA polymerases: the ubiquitous RNA polymerases I, II and III plus two plant-specific activities, nuclear RNA polymerases IV and V (previously known as Polymerases IVa and IVb).

Dynamic regulation of ARGONAUTE4 within multiple nuclear bodies in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
DNA methylation directed by 24-nucleotide small RNAs involves the small RNA-binding protein ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), and it was previously shown that AGO4 localizes to nucleolus-adjacent Cajal bodies, sites of snRNP complex maturation. Here we demonstrate that

The Rise and Fall of Billionaire siRNAs during Reproductive Development in Rice
RNA polymerase IV-dependent siRNAs, usually 24 nt in length, function in the RNA-directed DNA methylation that is responsible for de novo methylation in plants.

New link between the RNA polymerase II-CTD and replication stress
Conflicts between transcription and replication are a major source of replication stress. Our recent findings show that proper dephosphorylation of Serine 5 in the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1 is needed to ...

Primer recognition by avian myeloblastosis virus RNA-directed DNA polymerase [PDF]
Tryptophanyl-tRNA was specifically labeled at the 3' end with [3H]tryptophan and cleaved in half with RNase under denaturing conditions, and the 3' half was shown to hybridize exclusively at the 5' end of avian myeloblastosis virus RNA. The RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of avian myeloblastosis virus is capable of efficiently binding the 3' half of the ...

Production and processing of siRNA precursor transcripts from the highly repetitive maize genome. [PDF]
Mutations affecting the maintenance of heritable epigenetic states in maize identify multiple RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) factors including RMR1, a novel member of a plant-specific clade of Snf2-related proteins.

FVE promotes RNA‐directed DNA methylation by facilitating the association of RNA polymerase V with chromatin [PDF]
SummaryAssociation of RNA polymerase V (Pol V) with chromatin is a critical step for RNA‐ directed DNA methylation (RdDM) in plants. Although the methylated DNA‐binding proteins SUVH2 and SUVH9 and the chromatin remodeler‐containing complex DRD1‐DMS3‐RDM1 are known to be required for the association of Pol V with chromatin, the molecular mechanisms ...

The ability to form homodimers is essential for RDM1 to function in RNA-directed DNA methylation. [PDF]
RDM1 (RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION1) is a small plant-specific protein required for RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RDM1 interacts with RNA polymerase II (Pol II), ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), and the de novo DNA methyltransferase DOMAINS REARRANGED ...
