The second dsRBD domain from A. thaliana DICER-LIKE 1
Structural highlights
FunctionDCL1_ARATH Ribonuclease (RNase) III involved in RNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). Functions in the microRNAs (miRNAs) biogenesis pathway by cleaving primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) and precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs). Functions with DRB1/HYL1 and SERRATE proteins for accurate pri-miRNAs to miRNAs processing. Indirectly involved in the production of trans-acting small interfering RNAs (ta-siRNAs) derived from the TAS1, TAS2 or TAS3 endogenous transcripts by participating in the production of their initiating miRNAs. Involved in the processing of natural siRNAs (nat-siRNAs, derived from cis-natural antisense transcripts) by cleaving 24 nucleotide nat-siRNAs into 21 nucleotide nat-siRNAs. Can produce RDR6-dependent endogenous ta-siRNAs derived from TAS1 and TAS2. Required for the production of 30-40 nucleotide bacterial-induced long siRNAs (lsiRNA). Acts redundantly with DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3) to promote flowering via repression of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Represses antiviral RNA silencing through negative regulation of the expression of DCL4 and DCL3.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedDicer-like ribonuclease III enzymes are involved in different paths related to RNA silencing in plants. Little is known about the structural aspects of these processes. Here we present a structural characterization of the second double-stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD) of DCL1, which is presumed to participate in pri-micro-RNA recognition and subcellular localization of this protein. We determined the solution structure and found that it has a canonical fold but bears some variation with respect to other homologous domains. We also found that this domain binds both double-stranded RNA and double-stranded DNA, in contrast to most dsRBDs. Our characterization shows that this domain likely has functions other than substrate recognition and binding.
