Functional Description
Involved in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). Component of the RISC complex that associate with the small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway involved in direct cytosine methylation at endogenous DNA repeats. Forms a AGO4/NRPE1/siRNA complex in cajal body, facilitating its function in RNA-directed gene silencing of target loci. Required for CpNpG and asymmetric DNA methylation as well as histone H3 'Lys-9' methylation (H3K9me) at SUP and SN1 loci. May be not required for CpG methylation. Required for the production and maintenance of retrotransposon SN1 and Copia and ribosomal 5S 25 nucleotide siRNAs specialized in gene silencing at chromatin level. Involved in de novo methylation of FWA gene and required for the maintenance of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) triggered by inverted repeat transgenes. Interacts with miRNA miR390 and miR172, targeting respectively TAS3 and AP2 mRNAs, and mediates cleavage of miRNA targets. Associates mainly with small RNAs of 24 nucleotide in length and preferentially recruits small RNAs with a 5' terminal adenosine. Targeted by the turnip yellows virus (TuYV) protein P0 (via F-box-like domain) for probable proteasome degradation and thereby inactivating AGO4 function in RNA silencing. Required for resistance to the bacterial pathogen P.syringae. Works independently of the RdDM pathway in mediating resistance to P.syringae. RdDM is involved in viral genome methylation as an epigenetic defense against geminiviruses.
