Expression of the Wolbachia male‐killing factor Oscar impairs dosage compensation in lepidopteran embryos

21 Nov 2023

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria in insects that can manipulate the sexual development and reproduction by male killing or other methods. We have recently identified a Wolbachia protein named Oscar that acts as a male-killing factor for lepidopteran insects. Oscar interacts with the Masculinizer (Masc) protein, which is required for both masculinization and dosage compensation (DC) in lepidopteran insects....
