The Cif proteins from <i>Wolbachia</i> prophage WO modify sperm genome integrity to establish cytoplasmic incompatibility

2022-01-16

Abstract excerpt

Inherited microorganisms can selfishly manipulate host reproduction to drive through populations. In Drosophila melanogaster , germline expression of the native Wolbachia prophage WO proteins CifA and CifB cause cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in which embryos from infected males and uninfected females suffer catastrophic mitotic defects and lethality; however, in infected females, CifA expression rescues the e...
