The Drosophila ZAD zinc finger protein Kipferl guides Rhino to piRNA clusters
2022-05-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> RNA interference systems depend on the synthesis of small RNA precursors whose sequences define the target spectrum of these silencing pathways. The Drosophila Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) variant Rhino permits transcription of PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) precursors within transposon-rich heterochromatic loci in germline cells. Current models propose that Rhino’s specific chromatin occupancy...
