The DNA methylation locus DDM1 is required for maintenance of gene silencing in Arabidopsis
Article Abstract:
PAI gene silencing in Arabidopsis is enabled by methylation and intermediate DNA methylation supports intermediate gene silencing. ddm1 homozygotes get heritable changes during DNA methylation and this leads to changes in gene expression. Experiments with bred mutants showed that there was a loss of fluorescence corresponding with the loss of methylation from the PAI2 gene.

An mRNA structure in bacteria that controls gene expression by binding lysine
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on Bacillus subtilis gene. The authors have demonstrated that this gene carries a conserved RNA element which is a lysine-responsive riboswitch.
