Gene silencing mechanisms mediated by Aubergine–piRNA complexes in Drosophila male gonad
Open accessAbstract
Genetic studies have shown that Aubergine (Aub), one of the Piwi subfamily of Argonautes in Drosophila, is essential for germ cell formation and maintaining fertility. aub mutations lead to the accumulation of retrotransposons in ovaries and testes, and Stellate transcripts in testes. Aub in ovaries associates with a variety of Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) derived from repetitive intergenic elements including retrotransposons. Here we found that Aub in testes also associates with various kinds of piRNAs. Although in ovaries Aub-associated piRNA populations are quite diverse, piRNAs with Aub in testes show a strong bias. The most abundant piRNAs were those corresponding to antisense transcripts of Suppressor of Stellate [Su(Ste)] genes known to be involved in Stellate gene silencing. The second most abundant class was made up of those from chromosome X and showed strong complementarity to vasa transcripts. Immunopurified Aub–piRNA complexes from testes displayed activity in cleaving target RNA containing sequences complementary to Stellate and vasa transcripts. These results provide the first biochemical insights into gene silencing mechanisms mediated by Aub and piRNAs in fly testes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
