SUMO protease FUG1, histone reader AL3 and the PRC1 Complex are integral to repeat-expansion induced epigenetic silencing in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
2023-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic gene silencing induced by expanded repeats can cause diverse phenotypes ranging from severe growth defects in plants to genetic diseases such as Friedreich’s ataxia in humans 1 . The molecular mechanisms underlying repeat expansion-induced epigenetic silencing remain largely unknown 2,3 . Using a plant model, we have previously shown that expanded repeats can induce smallRNAs which in turn can lead to...
