Arabidopsis MORC proteins function in the efficient establishment of RNA directed DNA methylation

MORC ATPases are required for transposable element silencing and heterochromatin condensation in plants and animals. Here the authors show that Arabidopsis MORCs colocalize with sites of RNA-directed DNA methylation and provide evidence that they act as molecular tethers to efficiently establish DNA...
