Rapid evolution of promoters from germline-specifically expressed genes including transposon silencing factors

2023-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The piRNA pathway in animal gonads functions as an ‘RNA-based immune system’, serving to silence transposable elements and prevent inheritance of novel invaders. In Drosophila , this pathway relies on three gonad-specific Argonaute proteins (Argonaute-3, Aubergine and Piwi) that associate with 23-28 nucleotide piRNAs, directing the silencing of transposon-derived transcripts. Transposons cons...
