DEFECTIVE IN RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 1 | Brief Description | SNF2 domain-containing protein / helicase domain-containing protein |
| TAIR Computational Description | SNF2 domain-containing protein / helicase domain-containing protein;(source:Araport11) |
| TAIR Curator Summary | Putative chromatin remodeling protein, member of a plant-specific subfamily of SWI2/SNF2-like proteins. Mutations nearly eliminate non-CpG methylation at a target promoter but do not affect rDNA or centromere methylation. Cooperates with PolIVb to facilitate RNA-directed de novo methylation and silencing of homologous DNA. Endogenous targets include intergenic regions near retrotransposon LTRs or short RNA encoding sequences that might epigenetically regulate adjacent genes. May be used to establish a basal yet reversible level of silencing in euchromatin. |
