The multifunctional scaffold protein Small ovary couples piRNA-guided transposon recognition to nuclear RNA decay and heterochromatin formation

This paper identifies Sov as a scaffold protein linking piRNA recognition of transposon RNA to RNA decay and heterochromatin formation through distinct molecular mechanisms.

Flightless I and LRRFIP work together to regulate lateral growth of the sarcomeres in Drosophila

This study identifies Flightless I and LRRFIP as regulators of lateral sarcomere growth in Drosophila flight muscle through actin filament integration at the Z-disc.

The SUMO ligase Su(var)2-10 controls eu- and heterochromatic gene expression via establishment of H3K9 trimethylation and negative feedback regulation

The paper shows that Su(var)2-10 regulates gene expression in euchromatin and heterochromatin by establishing H3K9me3 and providing negative feedback.

Drosophila small ovary gene ensures germline stem cell maintenance and differentiation by silencing transposons and organising heterochromatin

This study identifies the Drosophila small ovary gene as essential for maintaining germline stem cell niche integrity through transposon silencing and heterochromatin organization.
