(Submitter supplied) In metazoan gonads, transposable elements (TEs) mobilization is limited by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). These small RNAs originate from specific source loci, the piRNA clusters. piRNAs are known to silence TEs in the cells where they are produced. Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), a subclass of TEs, pose a particular threat because they are capable of transiting from cell to cell. In this study, we reveal that piRNAs produced locally in germ cells counteract invasion by ERVs arriving from adjacent somatic cells. more...
