The Masc–PSI complex directly induces male-type <i>doublesex</i> splicing in silkworms

2025-03-12

Abstract excerpt

The WZ sex determination system is found in a diverse range of animals, including lepidopteran insects. In the silkworm Bombyx mori , a lepidopteran model insect, females carry the W chromosome with the feminizing gene Feminizer ( Fem ), which is the source of a female-specific PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA). The Fem piRNA–PIWI complex cleaves an mRNA encoding the masculinizing protein Masculinizer (BmMasc), res...
