The Tudor Domain-Containing Protein, Kotsubu (CG9925), Localizes to the Nuage and Functions in piRNA Biogenesis in D. melanogaster

Silencing of transposable elements (TEs) by Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) is crucial for maintaining germline genome integrity and fertility in animals.To repress TEs, PIWI clade Argonaute proteins cooperate with several Tudor domain-containing (Tdrd) proteins at membraneless perinuclear organelles, called nuage, to produce piRNAs to Sea Food repr
