Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Mutations of AtRRP6L1 and AtRRP6L2 de-repress the flowering repressor FLC.
- Intervention effect Mutations of AtRRP6L1 and AtRRP6L2 delay flowering in early-flowering Arabidopsis ecotypes.
- Intervention effect AtRRP6L mutations affect the expression of the FLC regulatory antisense RNAs AS I and II.
- Intervention effect AtRRP6L mutations increase H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) at FLC.
- Mechanism AtRRP6L1 and AtRRP6L2 function redundantly in the regulation of FLC.
- Mechanism AtRRP6L1 and AtRRP6L2 regulate FLC independently of the exosome core complex.
- Mechanism AtRRP6L proteins are the main regulators of ASL synthesis.
- Intervention effect AtRRP6L mutants show little or no ASL transcript.
- Association Unlike ASI/II, ASL associates with H3K27me3 regions of FLC.
- Mechanism ASL may function in the maintenance of H3K27 trimethylation during vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect AtRRP6L mutations affect H3K27me3 levels and nucleosome density at the FLC locus.
- Observation AtRRP6L1 physically associates with the ASL transcript and directly interacts with the FLC locus.
- Mechanism AtRRP6L proteins may maintain H3K27me3 at FLC via regulating ASL.
- Mechanism AtRRP6L proteins may participate in multiple FLC silencing pathways by regulating diverse antisense RNAs.
