Abstract Membraneless organelles are sites for RNA biology including small non-coding (ncRNA) mediated gene silencing. How ncRNAs utilise phase separated environments their function is unclear. We investigated how the PIWI-interacting (piRNA) pathway engages with membraneless organelle P granule in Caenorhabditis elegans . Proteomic analysis of PIWI protein PRG-1 reveals an interaction constitutive DEPS-1. DEPS-1 not required piRNA biogenesis but piRNA-dependent silencing: deps-1 mutants...
Summary Membraneless organelles are platforms for many aspects of RNA biology including small non-coding (ncRNA) mediated gene silencing. How ncRNAs utilise phase separated environments their function is unclear. To address this question, we investigated how the PIWI-interacting (piRNA) pathway engages with membraneless organelle P granule in Caenorhabditis elegans . Proteomic analysis PIWI protein PRG-1 revealed an interaction constitutive DEPS-1. Furthermore identified a novel motif on...
