(Submitter supplied) The piRNA pathway is a conserved germline-specific small RNA pathway that ensures genomic integrity and continued fertility. In C. elegans and other nematodes, Type-I piRNA precursor transcripts are expressed from >10,000 small, independently regulated genes clustered within two discrete domains of 1.5 and 3.5 MB on Chromosome IV. These large domains likely play a significant role in promoting germline-specific expression of piRNAs, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. more...

(Submitter supplied) Chromatin organization in the C. elegans germ line is tightly regulated and critical for germ cell differentiation. While certain germline epigenetic regulatory mechanisms have been identified, how they influence chromatin structure and ultimately gene expression remains unclear, in part because most genomic studies have focused on data collected from whole worms. We therefore analyzed publicly available histone modification and chromatin accessibility data from isolated undifferentiated germ nuclei to define chromatin states. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background. Telomeric small RNAs related to PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been described in various eukaryotes; however, their role in germline-specific telomere function remains poorly understood. Using a Drosophila model, we performed an in-depth study of the biogenesis of telomeric piRNAs and their function in telomere homeostasis in the germline. Results To fully characterize telomeric piRNA clusters, we integrated the data obtained from analysis of endogenous telomeric repeats, as well as transgenes inserted into different telomeric and subtelomeric regions. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Rb/E2F tumor suppressor regulates gene expression to control the onset and timing of differentiation in many different cell types during development. This critical function makes Rb/E2F a frequent target for inactivation in tumors of diverse tissue origin. However, the mechanisms by which Rb/E2F governs tissue-specific gene regulation in vivo are poorly understood. We have determined the genome-wide binding profiles for components of the C. more...

(Submitter supplied) Repression of cellular reprogramming in germ cells is critical to maintaining cell fate and fertility. When germ cells mis-express somatic genes they can be directly converted into other cell types, resulting in loss of totipotency and reproductive potential. Here we show that RNAi pathways play a key role in maintaining germline gene expression and totipotency after heat stress. By examining transcriptional changes that occur in mut-16 mutants, that lack a key protein in the RNAi pathway, at elevated temperatures we found that soma-specific genes are mis-expressed in germ cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) Small non-coding RNAs that associate with Piwi proteins, called piRNAs, serve as guides for repression of diverse transposable elements in germ cells of Metazoa. In Drosophila, the genomic regions that give rise to piRNAs, the so-called piRNA clusters, are transcribed to generate long precursor molecules that are processed into mature piRNAs. How genomic regions that give rise to piRNA precursor transcripts are differentiated from the rest of the genome and how these transcripts are specifically channeled into the piRNA biogenesis pathway are not known. more...

(Submitter supplied) The wide variety of specialized permissive and repressive mechanisms by which germ cells regulate developmental gene expression are not well understood genome-wide.

(Submitter supplied) piRNAs play a critical role in the regulation of transposons and other germline genes. In Caenorhabditis elegans, silencing of piRNA target genes is mediated by the Mutator complex, which synthesizes high levels of siRNAs through the activity of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. However, how mRNAs recognized by the piRNA pathway are handed off to the Mutator pathway is unclear. Here, we identify the Tudor domain-containing protein, SIMR-1, as a key mediator of this handoff. more...

(Submitter supplied) Remarkably, tens of thousands of piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) arise from a minimal number of discrete clustered regions in many organisms. However, it remains unclear if organization into these domains contributes to the highly coordinated, germline-specific expression of these small RNAs. Here, we show that SNPC-4, the DNA-binding subunit of the small nuclear RNA activating protein complex (SNAPc), binds piRNA clusters in a germline-specific manner and is required for global piRNA expression in C. more...
