Specialization of the <i>Drosophila</i> nuclear export family protein, Nxf3, for piRNA precursor export
2019-07-26
Abstract excerpt
The piRNA pathway is a conserved, small RNA-based immune system that protects animal germ cell genomes from the harmful effects of transposon mobilisation. In Drosophila ovaries, most piRNAs originate from dual-strand clusters, which generate piRNAs from both genomic strands. Dual-strand clusters use non-canonical transcription mechanisms. Although transcribed by RNA polymerase II, cluster transcripts lack splici...
