PIWI proteomics identifies Atari and Pasilla as piRNA biogenesis factors in Aedes mosquitoes
Summary: As in most arthropods, the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway in the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti is active in diverse biological processes in both soma and germline.To gain insights into piRNA biogenesis and effector complexes, we mapped the interactomes of the somatic PIWI proteins Ago3, Piwi4, Piwi5, and Piwi6 and synovex one grass i
