摘要: Arabidopsis thaliana contains two nuclear XRN2/3 5'-3' exonucleases that are homologs of yeast and human Rat1/Xrn2 proteins involved in the processing degradation several classes RNAs transcription termination RNA polymerase II. Using strand-specific short read sequencing we show knockdown XRN3 leads to an altered expression hundreds genes accumulation uncapped polyadenylated read-through transcripts generated by inefficiently terminated Pol Our data support notion XRN3-mediated changes a subset caused upstream these effects enhanced RNA-mRNA chimeras xrn3 plants. In turn, antisense downstream may trigger production siRNA. results highlight importance exoribonuclease II plants disturbance this process significantly alter gene expression.
