Maelstrom Represses Canonical Polymerase II Transcription within Bi-Directional piRNA Clusters in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2018-06-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> In Drosophila , 23–30 nt long PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) direct the protein Piwi to silence germline transposon transcription. Most germline piRNAs derive from dual-strand piRNA clusters, heterochromatic transposon graveyards that are transcribed from both genomic strands. These piRNA sources are marked by the Heterochromatin Protein 1 homolog, Rhino (Rhi), which facilitates their promoter-i...
