Project description:Here, we analyzed nine Drosophila piRNA pathway mutants for their impacts on both small RNA populations and the sub-cellular localization patterns of Piwi proteins. We find that distinct piRNA pathways with differing components function in ovarian germ and somatic cells. Keywords: Epigenetics 20 libraries were analyzed, with 9 being control samples (heterozygotes).

Project description:In Drosophila gonads, Piwi proteins and associated piRNAs collaborate with additional factors to form a small RNA-based immune system that silences mobile elements. Here, we analyzed nine Drosophila piRNA pathway mutants for their impacts on both small RNA populations and the subcellular localization patterns of Piwi proteins. We find that distinct piRNA pathways with differing components function in ovarian germ and somatic cells. In the soma, Piwi acts singularly with the conserved flamenco piRNA cluster to enforce silencing of retroviral elements that may propagate by infecting neighboring germ cells. In the germline, silencing programs encoded within piRNA clusters are optimized via a slicer-dependent amplification loop to suppress a broad spectrum of elements. The classes of transposons targeted by germline and somatic piRNA clusters, though not the precise elements, are conserved among Drosophilids, demonstrating that the architecture of piRNA clusters has coevolved with the transposons that they are tasked to control.

Project description:Purpose: To study the expression profile of piRNAs in rat ovary Methods: Ovary from eight-weeks old, adult wistar rats were harvested after sacrificing the animal. The total RNA is isolated using trizol reagent. Subsequently, small RNA library was contructed using illumina kit as per manufacturer's instructions. Results: The reads were annotated to the rat genome (rn5) and piRNA database and their expression is studied Conclusions: Large number of piRNAs are expressed in rat ovary

Project description:Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) suppress transposon activity in animal germ cells. In the Drosophila ovary, primary Aubergine (Aub)-bound antisense piRNAs initiate the ping-pong cycle to produce secondary AGO3-bound sense piRNAs. This increases the number of secondary Aub-bound antisense piRNAs that can act to destroy transposon mRNAs. Here we show that Krimper (Krimp), a Tudor-domain protein, directly interacts with piRNA-free AGO3 to promote symmetrical dimethylarginine (sDMA) modification, ensuring sense piRNA-loading onto sDMA-modified AGO3. In aub mutant ovaries, AGO3 associates with ping-pong signature piRNAs, suggesting AGO3’s compatibility with primary piRNA loading. Krimp sequesters ectopically expressed AGO3 within Krimp bodies in cultured ovarian somatic cells (OSCs), in which only the primary piRNA pathway operates. Upon krimp-RNAi in OSCs, AGO3 loads with piRNAs, further showing the capacity of AGO3 for primary piRNA loading. We propose that Krimp enforces an antisense bias on piRNA pools by binding AGO3 and blocking its access to primary piRNAs. In order to investigate function of Krimp in piRNA pathway, sequencing of Piwi subfamily protein associated small RNAs was performed using adult Drosophila ovaries and Ovarian Somatic Cells (OSCs) depleted for Krimp or Aub.

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasite that threat genome integrity. One major strategy organisms evolved to balance TE activity in the germline is the Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) pathway. It prevents transposition by repressing TE at transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional level. However, evidence that TE derepression caused by piRNA pathway impairment is actually followed by bursts of transposition is still lacking. Here we present a genome-wide TE-analyses of the replicative TE life cycle (their expression, their translation to their transposition in the germline) after piRNA pathway impairment in the somatic follicle cells. We observed a high transposition-rate in the germline, leading to a 10-fold increase in genomic TE-load after 70 successive generations of piRNA pathway impairment. Moreover, we demonstrate that siRNAs co-regulate TE activity at post transcriptional level in follicle cells. These observations demonstrate that the small RNA-mediated TE repression in follicle cells contribute to genome homeostasis.
