Poldip2 promotes mtDNA elimination during Drosophila spermatogenesis to ensure maternal inheritance
11 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly conserved in metazoans. While many species eliminate paternal mtDNA during late sperm development to foster maternal inheritance, the regulatory mechanisms governing this process remain elusive. Through a forward genetic screen in Drosophila, we identified 47 mutant lines exhibiting substantial retention of mtDNA in mature sperm. We mapped one line to...
