Modulation of Aub–Tdrd interactions elucidates piRNA amplification and germ plasm formation
Aub protein guided by piRNAs ensures genome integrity by cleaving retrotransposons and genome propagation by trapping mRNAs to form the germ plasm that instructs germ cell formation. The amino terminus of Aub (Aub-NT) is rich in arginines (Aub-NTRs), which are symmetrically dimethylated (sDMAs), and...

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,...

To identify Aub function in mRNA regulation in the Drosophila embryo, we have performed mass spectrometry analysis of Aub interactors, following immunoprecipitation of GFP-Aub in 0-2 hour-embryos. Immunoprecipitation of GFP alone was used as negative control. Because Aub accumulates at high levels i...

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, fro...

We used microarrays to identify unstable mRNAs in wild-type embryos by comparing the transcriptomes derived from 0-2h- and 2-4h-embryos. We then analyzed which of these unstable mRNAs are stabilized in embryos from aub or spn-E mutant mothers (aub or spn-E mutant embryos) by comparing mutant and wil...

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 great...
