Summary

It is shown that pRNA interacts with the target site of the transcription factor TTF-I, forming a DNA:RNA triplex that is specifically recognized by the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3b, suggesting that recruitment of DN MT3b by DNA: RNA triplexes may be a common and generally used pathway in epigenetic regulation.
