Mobile transposable elements (TEs) not only participate in genome evolution but also threaten genome integrity. In healthy cells, TEs that encode all of the components that are necessary for their mobility are specifically silenced, yet the precise mechanism remains unknown. Here, we characterize the mechanism used by a conserved class of chromatin remodelers that prevent TE mobility. In the Arabidopsis chromatin remodeler DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1), we identify two conserved binding domains for the histone variant H2A.W,
