5'-3' EXORIBONUCLEASE; ACC INSENSITIVE 1; AIN1; ATXRN4; EIN5; ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 5; exoribonuclease 4; EXORIBONUCLEASE 4; F20D21.30; F20D21_30
Summary
Involved in the ethylene response. XRN4 does not appear to regulate ethylene signaling via an RNA-INDUCED SILENCING COMPLEX-based RNA silencing mechanism but acts by independent means. Endogenous suppressor of posttranscriptional gene silencing.
