PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs in the soma.

Nature - 16 Jan 2014

Ross Robert J, Weiner Molly M, Lin Haifan

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of millions of PIWI-interacting RNAs revealed a fascinating and unanticipated dimension of biology. The PIWI-piRNA pathway has been commonly perceived as germline-specific, even though the somatic function of PIWI proteins was documented when they were first discovered. Recent studies have begun to re-explore this pathway in somatic cells in diverse organisms, particularly lower eukaryotes. These...
