Morc6 ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-like
This domain is found in MORC6 proteins in eukaryotes. Arabidopsis microrchidia (MORC) ATPase family proteins are conserved among plants and animals and are involved in transcriptional silencing. In Arabidopsis, MORC6/DMS11 was reported to function in the condensation of pericentromeric heterochromatin, thereby facilitating transcriptional silencing. Further studies demonstrate that MORC6 and its homologs MORC1 and MORC2 form a complex which associates with SUVH9, required for Pol V occupancy in the RdDM (RNA-directed DNA methylation) pathway.
