rasiRNA pathway controls antisense expression of Drosophila telomeric retrotransposons in the nucleus.

Nucleic acids research - 1 Jan 2009

Shpiz Sergey, Kwon Dmitry, Rozovsky Yakov, Kalmykova Alla

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres in Drosophila are maintained by the specialized telomeric retrotransposons HeT-A, TART and TAHRE. Sense transcripts of telomeric retroelements were shown to be the targets of a specialized RNA-interference mechanism, a repeat-associated short interfering (rasi)RNA-mediated system. Antisense rasiRNAs play a key role in this mechanism, highlighting the importance of antisense expression in retrotransposon...
