Figure 7 A Model for the Biogenesis of sidRNAs and Initiation of DNA Methylation In this model, an active locus (for example, a newly integrated transgene or transposon) is transcribed by Pol II. Pol II transcripts (possibly amplified by RDR6) associate with AGO4 and undergo 3′-5′ trimming by Atrimmers. The resulting sidRNAs then mediate the initiation of DNA methylation by recruiting DRM2. Low levels of DNA methylation established by sidRNAs may mark the locus for subsequent recruitment of Pol IV and RDR2. The vast majority of the Pol IV/RDR2 transcripts are processed by DCL3 to generate 24-nt siRNAs that are subsequently loaded onto AGO4, whereas a small fraction of them are directly recruited by AGO4 and undergo 3′-5 trimming to produce sidRNAs. 24-nt siRNAs and sidRNAs then recruit DRM2 by base-pairing with scaffold transcripts generated by Pol V to reinforce DNA methylation.
