P granules protect RNA interference genes from silencing by piRNAs
2019-07-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> P granules are perinuclear condensates in C. elegans germ cells proposed to serve as hubs for self/non-self RNA discrimination by Argonautes. We report that a mutant ( meg-3 meg-4 ) that does not assemble P granules in primordial germ cells loses competence for RNA-interference over several generations and accumulates silencing small RNAs against hundreds of endogenous genes, including the RNA-...
