(Submitter supplied) In Drosophila, Piwi proteins associate with Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and protect the germline genome by silencing mobile genetic elements. This defense system acts in germline and gonadal somatic tissue to preserve germline development. Genetic control for these silencing pathways varies greatly between tissues of the gonad. Here, we identified Vreteno (Vret), a novel gonad-specific protein essential for germline development. more...

(Submitter supplied) Here, we analyzed small RNA libraries derived from ovarian tissues heterozygous or mutant for the Tudor gene, Vreteno. In the absence of vret, Piwi-bound piRNAs are lost without changes in piRNA precursor transcript production, supporting a role for Vret in primary piRNA biogenesis. In the germline, piRNAs can engage in an Aub/Argonaute 3 (AGO3)-dependent amplification in the absence of Vret, suggesting that Vret function can distinguish between primary piRNAs loaded into Piwi/Aub complexes and piRNAs engaged in the amplification cycle. more...

(Submitter supplied) In animals, the piRNA pathway preserves the integrity of gametic genomes, guarding them against the activity of mobile genetic elements. This innate immune mechanism relies on distinct genomic loci, termed piRNA clusters, to provide a molecular definition of transposons, enabling their discrimination from genes. piRNA clusters give rise to long, single-stranded precursors which are processed into primary piRNAs through an unknown mechanism. more...

(Submitter supplied) piRNAs function in silencing retrotransposons by associating with the PIWI proteins, AGO3, Aub, and Piwi, in Drosophila germlines. Bioinformatics analyses of piRNAs in Drosophila ovaries suggested that piRNAs are produced by two systems, the primary processing pathway and the amplification loop, from repetitive genes and piRNA clusters in the genome. The amplification loop occurs in a Dicer-independent, PIWI-Slicer-dependent manner. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transposable elements can drive genome evolution, but their enhanced activity is detrimental to the host and therefore must be tightly regulated. The piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) pathway is critically important for transposable element regulation, by inducing transcriptional silencing or post-transcriptional decay of mRNAs. We show that piRNAs and piRNA biogenesis components regulate pre-mRNA splicing of P transposable element transcripts in vivo, leading to the production of the non-transposase-encoding mature mRNA isoform in germ cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) PIWI-clade Argonaute proteins silence transposon expression in animal gonads. Their target specificity is defined by bound ~23-30nt piRNAs that are processed from single-stranded precursor transcripts via two distinct pathways. Primary piRNAs are defined by the endo-nuclease Zucchini, while biogenesis of secondary piRNAs depends on piRNA-guided transcript cleavage and results in piRNA amplification. more...

(Submitter supplied) The piRNA pathway controls transposon expression in animal germ cells, thereby ensuring genome stability over generations. piRNAs are maternally deposited and required for proper transposon silencing in adult offspring. However, a long-standing question in the field is the precise function of maternally deposited piRNAs and its associated factors during embryogenesis. Here, we probe the spatio-temporal expression patterns of several piRNA pathway components during early stages of development. more...

(Submitter supplied) PIWI proteins and their guiding Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) are crucial for fertility and transposon defense in the animal germline. In most species, the majority of piRNAs are produced from distinct large genomic loci, called piRNA clusters. It is assumed that germline-expressed piRNA clusters, particularly in Drosophila, act as master regulators to control the activity of transposons dispersed across the genome. more...

One major strategy organisms evolved to balance TE activity in the germline is the Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) pathway. It prevents transposition by repressing TE at transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional level. However, evidence that TE derepression caused by piRNA pathway impairment is actually followed by bursts of transposition is still lacking. more...

(Submitter supplied) The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway plays a crucial role in preventing endogenous genomic parasites, transposable elements (TEs), from damaging the genetic material of animal gonadal cells. Specific regions in the genome, called piRNA clusters, define each species’ piRNA repertoire and therefore its capacity to recognize and silence transposons. In the somatic cells of the Drosophila melanogaster ovary, the flamenco (flam) unistrand cluster is the main source of piRNAs and primarily regulates Gypsy family TEs that are able to form virus-like particles and infect neighbouring germ cells. more...
