Nuclear Argonaute proteins, guided by their bound small RNAs, orchestrate heterochromatin formation at transposon insertions and repetitive genomic loci. The molecular mechanisms that, besides recruiting heterochromatin effector proteins, are required for this silencing process are poorly understood...

Molecular principles of Piwi-mediated cotranscriptional silencing through the dimeric SFiNX complex
The nascent RNA binding complex SFiNX licenses piRNA-guided heterochromatin formation
Nuclear Argonaute proteins, guided by their bound small RNAs to nascent target transcripts, mediate cotranscriptional silencing of transposons and repetitive genomic loci through heterochromatin formation. The molecular mechanisms involved in this process are incompletely understood. Here, we show t...

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway protects animal genome integrity in part through establishing repressive heterochromatin at transposon loci. Silencing requires piRNA- guided targeting of nuclear PIWI proteins to nascent transposon transcripts, yet the subsequent molecular events are not und...

Small RNA silencing pathways protect genome integrity in part through establishing heterochromatin at transposon loci. In animals, this process requires piRNA-guided targeting of nuclear PIWI proteins to nascent transcripts. The molecular events contributing to heterochromatin formation upon PIWI bi...

Transcriptional silencing of transposable elements (TEs) is guided by Piwi and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) through the SFiNX complex to induce heterochromatin formation. We previously reported that members of the SFiNX complex can induce TE silencing prior to heterochromatin formation, suggesting...
