AGO6 — Nicotiana attenuata
Summary
A4A49_05033 (AGO6, also known as AGO16) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on chromosome 7 encodes an Argonaute family protein containing Piwi, PAZ, and RNaseH-like domains. The gene product is associated with siRNA binding, RNA endonuclease activity, and RNA binding, and is linked to siRNA processing, RNA-dependent gene silencing, stem cell population maintenance, secretion, regulation of translation, antiviral response, response to jasmonic acid, and leaf development. It localizes to the ribonucleoprotein complex, cytoplasm, and nucleus. AGO6 is associated with DNA methylation, siRNA accumulation, transcriptional gene silencing, transposable element silencing, seed dormancy, and RNA-directed DNA methylation. Related genes in other species link the family to heterosis and plant height.
