<i>putzig</i> safeguards genome integrity by contributing to the Piwi-mediated repression of transposon activity in the female germline of <i>Drosophila</i> in a two-tiered fashion

2026-03-13

Abstract excerpt

Genome integrity in the germline is jeopardized by the activity of transposable elements (TEs). Transposon activity is kept in check by the Piwi-piRNA pathway, which silences TEs post-transcriptionally in the cytoplasm as well as co-transcriptionally in the nucleus. piRNAs derive from long precursor transcripts originating at piRNA-loci by non-conventional transcription. They are processed in the cytoplasm and loa...
