text: Proteins of the ARGONAUTE family are important in diverse posttranscriptional
RNA-mediated gene-silencing systems as well as in transcriptional gene silencing
in Drosophila and fission yeast and in programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena.
We cloned ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4) from a screen for mutants that suppress silencing
of the Arabidopsis SUPERMAN(SUP) gene. The ago4-1 mutant reactivated silentSUP
alleles and decreased CpNpG and asymmetric DNA methylation as well as histone
H3 lysine-9 methylation. In addition,ago4-1 blocked histone and DNA methylation
and the accumulation of 25-nucleotide small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that correspond
to the retroelement AtSN1. These results suggest that AGO4 and long siRNAs direct
chromatin modifications, including histone methylation and non-CpG DNA methylation.
