The piRNA amplification pathway in Bombyx is operated by Ago3 and Siwi in their piRISC form. The DEAD-box protein, Vasa, facilitates Ago3-piRISC production by liberating cleaved RNAs from Siwi-piRISC in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent manner. However, the Vasa-like factor facilitating Siwi-piRISC production along this pathway remains unknown. Here, we identify DEAD-box polypeptide 43 (DDX43) as the Vasa-like protein functioning in Siwi-piRISC production. DDX43 belongs to the helicase superfamily II ...[more]
