Journal ArticleDOI

Promoters Recognized by Forkhead Proteins Exist for Individual 21U-RNAs

TL;DR: This work establishes that the most conserved 8-mer sequence in the upstream region of 21U-RNAs, CTGTTTCA, is absolutely required for their individual expression and suggests that thousands of small noncoding transcription units are regulated by FKH proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global effects of the CSR-1 RNA interference pathway on the transcriptional landscape.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the CSR-1 pathway helps maintain the directionality of active transcription, thereby propagating the distinction between transcriptionally active and silent genomic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ZFP-1(AF10)/DOT-1 Complex Opposes H2B Ubiquitination to Reduce Pol II Transcription

TL;DR: ZFP-1 and its interacting partner DOT-1.1 have a global role in negatively modulating the level of polymerase II (Pol II) transcription on essential widely expressed genes and contribute to progressive Pol II pausing on essential genes during development and to rapid Pol IIPausing during stress response.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase essential for post-transcriptional gene silencing in Neurospora crassa interacts with replication protein A

TL;DR: Supporting a link between the two proteins, it is found that the accumulation of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), the hallmark of silencing, is dependent on an ongoing DNA synthesis.
