A Pre-mRNA-Splicing Factor Is Required for RNA-Directed DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of RDM16 is reported, a new factor in the RdDM pathway that regulates the overall methylation of TEs and gene-surrounding regions, and preferentially targets Pol IV-dependent DNA methylation loci and the ROS1 target loci.
The PRP6-like splicing factor STA1 is involved in RNA-directed DNA methylation by facilitating the production of Pol V-dependent scaffold RNAs
Kun Dou,Chao-Feng Huang,Ze-Yang Ma,Cui-Jun Zhang,Jin-Xing Zhou,Huan-Wei Huang,Tao Cai,Kai Tang,Jian-Kang Zhu,Xin-Jian He +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that STA1 acts downstream of siRNA biogenesis and facilitates the production of Pol V-dependent RNA transcripts in the RdDM pathway.

Non-coding RNA transcription and RNA-directed DNA methylation in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanisms underlying the recruitment of Pol IV and Pol V to chromatin and the targeting of RdDM, which is responsible for transcriptional silencing of endogenous transposable elements and introduced transgenes.

Two novel NAC transcription factors regulate gene expression and flowering time by associating with the histone demethylase JMJ14.

TL;DR: This study identifies two novel NAC transcription repressors and demonstrates that they are involved in transcriptional repression and flowering time control by associating with the histone demethylase JMJ14.
Folate Polyglutamylation Is Involved in Chromatin Silencing by Maintaining Global DNA Methylation and Histone H3K9 Dimethylation in Arabidopsis
Hao-Ran Zhou,Fang-Fang Zhang,Ze-Yang Ma,Huan-Wei Huang,Ling Jiang,Tao Cai,Jian-Kang Zhu,Jian-Kang Zhu,Chuyi Zhang,Xin-Jian He +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that folate polyglutamylation is required for chromatin silencing by maintaining global DNA methylation and histone H3K9 dimethylation by FPGS1 through its function in one-carbon metabolism.
