Somatic function of the Argonaute protein Aubergine is essential for neuromuscular development and function in <i>Drosophila</i>

2025-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is the primary defense against the deleterious activity of transposable elements (TEs), a role classically assigned to the germline. We recently discovered that the retrotransposon Copia is a negative regulator of synaptogenesis at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction (LNMJ) [1]. Here, we investigated whether the piRNA pathway regulates Copia...
