piRNA processing by a trimeric Schlafen-domain nuclease
2023-01-20
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements are genomic parasites that expand within and spread between genomes 1 . Piwi proteins control transposon activity, notably in the germline 2,3 . These proteins recognize their targets through small RNA co-factors named piRNAs, making piRNA biogenesis a key specificity-determining step in this crucial genome immunity system. While the processing of piRNA precursors is an essential step in th...
