NRPD5B

Gene
NRPD5B
Protein
DNA-directed RNA polymerases IV and V subunit 5B
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
218 amino acids
Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Component of RNA polymerases IV and V which mediate short-interfering RNAs (siRNA) accumulation and subsequent RNA-directed DNA methylation-dependent (RdDM) transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of endogenous repeated sequences, including transposable elements.
Similarity
Belongs to the archaeal RpoH/eukaryotic RPB5 RNA polymerase subunit family.
