The histone demethylase KDM3 prevents auto-immune piRNAs production in <i>Drosophila</i>

2022-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> In animals, genome integrity of the germ line is protected from transposable element (TE) activity by small, non-coding, dedicated RNAs acting as an immune system against TEs, and called PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) 1,2 . In Drosophila, the production of piRNAs is initiated from heterochromatic loci containing remnants of TEs and enriched in histone H3 trimethylated on lysine 9 (H3K9me3) 3–5...
