Arabidopsis proteins with a transposon-related domain act in gene silencing
Host genomes have evolved multiple silencing mechanisms to repress transposable element activity. Here Ikedaet al. show that the Arabidopsis MAIL1 and MAINgenes encode a retrotransposon-related plant mobile domain and define an alternative silencing pathway largely independent of DNA methylation and...
