ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Small RNA (sRNA) turnover is a key but poorly understood mechanism that determines the homeostasis of sRNAs. Animal XRN genes contribute the degradation of sRNAs, AtXRN2 and AtXRN3 also contribute the pri-miRNA processing and miRNA loop degradation in plants. However, the possible functions of the plant XRN genes in sRNA degradation are far from known. Here, we find that AtXRN4 contributes the turnover of plant sRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana mainly by sRNA-seq, qRT-PCR and Northern blot. The mutation of AtXRN4 alters the sRNA profile and the accumulation of 21 nt sRNAs was increased. Some miRNA*s levels are significantly increased in xrn4 mutant plants. However, the accumulation of the primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) and miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs) were generally unchanged in xrn4 mutant plants which indicates that AtXRN4 contributes the degradation of some miRNA*s. Moreover, AtXRN4 interacts with Arabidopsis Argonaute 2 (AtAGO2). This interaction takes place in Processing bodies (P-bodies). Taken together, our observations identified the interaction between XRN4 with AtAGO2 and suggested that plant XRN4 also contributes the turnover of sRNAs.
