Abstract
The Argonaute-1 (Ago1) protein bound to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) directs heterochromatin formation in fission yeast. A high-throughput sequencing approach reveals that the composition of the Ago1-bound siRNA population is sensitive to the noncanonical poly(A) polymerase Cid14, indicating that the RNA-interference and Cid14-TRAMP RNA-degradation pathways compete for substrates in fission yeast.
