Function

NRPD1_ARATH DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates (By similarity). Largest and catalytic component of RNA polymerase IV which mediates 24-nt short-interfering RNAs (siRNA) accumulation. Implicated in siRNA-directed heterochromatin formation through the action of DCL3 and AGO4, and subsequent DNA methylation-dependent silencing of targeted sequences. Essential component of a self-reinforcing loop coupling de novo DNA methylation to siRNA production. Required for intercellular but not intracellular RNA interference (RNAi) leading to systemic post-transcriptional gene silencing. Involved in the maintenance of post-transcriptional RNA silencing.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]
