Nonredundant functions for Aedes albopictus Piwi5 in piRNA biogenesis and transposon silencing

Ezgi Taşköprü, Valerie Betting, Gijs J. Overheul…·Ronald P. van Rij

This study shows that Piwi5 is essential for piRNA production and transposon silencing in Ae. albopictus, with loss of Piwi5 leading to increased transposon activity.

The piRNA pathway mediates transcriptional silencing of LTR retrotransposons in ovaries and somatic tissues of Aedes mosquitoes

Ezgi Taşköprü, Nynke B van Eijk, Femke A.H. van Hout…·Ronald P. van Rij

This study shows that Piwi6 in Aedes mosquitoes suppresses LTR retrotransposons in both gonadal and somatic tissues by guiding H3K9me3 histone deposition.
