NamesEndoribonuclease Dicer homolog 4 (Dicer-like protein 4) (OsDCL4) (Protein SHOOT ORGANIZATION 1)
FunctionInvolved in the RNA silencing pathway. Cleaves double-stranded RNA to produce small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which target the selective destruction of complementary RNAs. Required for the production of 21 nucleotide siRNAs. Regulates shoot apical meristem (SAM) initiation and maintenance, leaf polarization and lemma polarity through the trans-acting siRNAS (ta-siRNAs) pathway, which probably modulate the expression of the ARF2, ARF3, ARF4, ARF14 and ARF15 genes. Can process endogenous 21 nucleotide siRNAs derived from an imperfect inverted repeat. May not be involved in microRNAs (miRNAs) production.
