The <i>Wolbachia</i> CinB Nuclease is Sufficient for Induction of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

2021-10-23

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria that can alter reproduction of their arthropod hosts, often through a mechanism called cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). In CI, uninfected females fertilized by infected males yield few offspring, but if both are similarly infected, normal embryo viability results (called ‘rescue’). CI factors (Cifs) responsible for CI are pairs of proteins encoded by linked genes. The...
