An enzyme that processes appropriate double-stranded RNA substrates into small guide-RNA precursors in several RNA interference pathways.
A Dicer-like protein that processes canonical precursors into 24-nucleotide siRNAs.
The products contribute to canonical RNA-directed DNA methylation in plants. Processing converts a longer double-stranded precursor into guide-sized fragments, linking RNA production to later sequence-directed chromatin regulation. [ref]
