<i>Drosophila</i> Males Use 5′-to-3′ Phased Biogenesis to Make <i>Stellate</i> -silencing piRNAs that Lack Homology to Maternally Deposited piRNA Guides
2022-09-13
Abstract excerpt
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) direct PIWI proteins to silence complementary targets such as transposons. In animals with a maternally specified germline, e.g. Drosophila melanogaster , maternally deposited piRNAs initiate piRNA biogenesis in the progeny. Normal fertility in D. melanogaster males requires repression of tandemly repeated Stellate genes by piRNAs from Suppressor of Stellate [ Su(Ste) ]. Because...
