PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that associate with
proteins of the PIWI clade of the Argonaute family. First identified in animal germ line cells …

In animals, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) of 21–35 nucleotides in length silence
transposable elements, regulate gene expression and fight viral infection. piRNAs guide …

The ability of proteins and nucleic acids to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation has
recently emerged as an important molecular principle of how cells rapidly and reversibly …

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is a conserved defense mechanism that protects
the genetic information of animal germ cells from the deleterious effects of molecular …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small RNAs that are 24–31 nucleotides in
length. They associate with PIWI proteins, which constitute a germline-specific subclade of …

Non-coding RNAs generally form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with their partner
proteins to exert their functions. Small RNAs, including microRNAs, small interfering RNAs …

The exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited onto mRNAs following splicing and adopts a
unique structure, which can both stably bind to mRNAs and function as an anchor for diverse …

Summary piRNAs (Piwi-interacting small RNAs) engage Piwi Argonautes to silence
transposons and promote fertility in animal germlines. Genetic and computational studies …

Since its relatively recent discovery, RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a potent,
specific and ubiquitous means of gene regulation. Through a number of pathways that are …

The function of RNA is subtly modulated by post-transcriptional modifications. Here, we
report an important crosstalk in the covalent modification of two classes of RNAs. We …
