Abstract Transposable element activity is repressed in the germline animals by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a class of small produced genomic loci mostly composed TE sequences. The mechanism induction piRNA production these still enigmatic. We have shown that, Drosophila melanogaster, cluster tandemly repeated P-lacZ-white transgenes can be activated for maternal inheritance cytoplasm containing homologous piRNAs. This state stably transmitted over generations and allows trans-silencing...

Transposable element (TE) activity is repressed in animal gonads by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) produced piRNA clusters. Current models flies propose that germinal clusters are functionally defined the maternal inheritance of piRNAs during previous generation. Taking advantage an inactive, but ready to go, cluster P-element derived transgene insertions Drosophila melanogaster, we show here raising at high temperature (29°C) instead 25°C triggers stable conversion this locus from inactive...

Abstract The study of P transposable element repression in Drosophila melanogaster led to the discovery trans-silencing effect (TSE), a homology-dependent mechanism by which P-transgene inserted subtelomeric heterochromatin (Telomeric Associated Sequences) represses trans, female germline, homologous P-lacZ transgene euchromatin. TSE shows variegation ovaries and displays maternal as well epigenetic transmission through meiosis. In addition, is highly sensitive mutations affecting components...

Transposable element (TE) activity is repressed in the Drosophila germline by Piwi-Interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs. These piRNAs are produced discrete genomic loci containing TE fragments. In recent publication, we tested for existence strict epigenetic induction piRNA production capacity locus D. melanogaster genome. We used 2 lines carrying transgenic 7-copy tandem cluster (P-lacZ-white) at same site. This generates both local heterochromatic sector. One line...

ABSTRACT Abscission is the final step of cytokinesis that allows physical separation sister cells through scission cellular membrane. This deformation driven by ESCRT-III proteins, which can bind membranes and form dynamic helices. A crucial in abscission recruitment proteins at right time place. Alix one best characterized recruits from yeast to mammals. However, recent studies vivo have revealed pathways acting independently or redundantly with are also required sites different contexts....

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) ensure transposable element silencing in Drosophila, thereby preserving genome integrity across generations. Primary piRNAs arise from the processing of long RNA transcripts produced germ line by a limited number telomeric and pericentromeric loci. bound to Argonaute protein Aubergine then drive production secondary through “ping-pong” amplification mechanism that involves an interplay with Argonaute-3. We recently discovered clusters P-element-derived...
