RNA polymerase V

RNA polymerase V, previously known as RNA polymerase IVb, is a multisubunit plant specific RNA polymerase. It is required for normal function and biogenesis of small interfering RNA (siRNA). Together with
RNA polymerase IV, Pol V is involved in an siRNA-dependent epigenetic pathway known as RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), which establishes and maintains heterochromatic silencing in plants.
