A pathway to produce non-coding piRNAs from endogenous protein-coding regions supports Drosophila spermatogenesis
2022-10-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> PIWI-interacting (pi)RNA pathways control transposable elements (TEs) and endogenous genes in animal gonads, playing important roles in gamete formation. Here, we report a mechanism by which endo genous protein-coding regions, that normally provide their sequences for translation, serve as origins of non-coding piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster testes. The products, namely endo-piRNAs...
