TAIR Curator Summary | Required for posttranscriptional gene silencing and natural virus resistance.SGS3 is a member of an 'unknown' protein family. Members of this family have predicted coiled coiled domains suggesting oligomerization and a potential zinc finger domain. Involved in the production of trans-acting siRNAs, through direct or indirect stabilization of cleavage fragments of the primary ta-siRNA transcript. Acts before RDR6 in this pathway. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
