Abstract: In Arabidopsis, the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway is important for establishing and maintaining DNA methylation — here Pol V is shown to depend on SUVH2 and SUVH9, where both of these proteins are proposed to bind specifically to methylated DNA to recruit Pol V, providing a self-reinforcing loop mechanism for maintenance of RNA-directed DNA methylation.
