What's a GeneRIF?

pre-piRNAs are generated by parallel Zucchini-dependent and -independent mechanisms; cleavage by Zucchini occurs at previously unrecognized consensus motifs on pre-pre-piRNAs, requires the RNA helicase Armitage, and is accompanied by 2'-O-methylation of pre-piRNAs
Title: Zucchini consensus motifs determine the mechanism of pre-piRNA production.
PLD6 is a surface marker of undifferentiated spermatogonia in testes.
Title: Phospholipase D Family Member 6 Is a Surface Marker for Enrichment of Undifferentiated Spermatogonia in Prepubertal Boars.
MIWI (or PIWIL1) depletion had a smaller effect. In oocytes lacking PLD6 (or ZUCCHINI or MITOPLD), a mitochondrial nuclease/phospholipase involved in piRNA biogenesis in male germ cells, the piRNA level was decreased to 50% compared to wild-type.
Title: Roles of MIWI, MILI and PLD6 in small RNA regulation in mouse growing oocytes.
Drp1 binds a mitochondrial enzyme that produces phosphatidic acid, MitoPLD, and regulates mitochondrial division.
Title: Coincident Phosphatidic Acid Interaction Restrains Drp1 in Mitochondrial Division.
The Dnmt3l mutation greatly reduced DNA methylation levels at most retrotransposons, but its impact on their RNA abundance was limited in prospermatogonia. In Pld6 mutant germ cells, although only a few retrotransposons exhibited reduced DNA methylation, many showed increased expression at the RNA level.
Title: Switching of dominant retrotransposon silencing strategies from posttranscriptional to transcriptional mechanisms during male germ-cell development in mice.
Propose that MIGA proteins promote mitochondrial fusion by regulating mitochondrial phospholipid metabolism via MitoPLD.
Title: Mitoguardin Regulates Mitochondrial Fusion through MitoPLD and Is Required for Neuronal Homeostasis.
crystal structure of mZuc at 1.75 A resolution indicates greater architectural similarity to phospholipase-D family nucleases than to phospholipases; data suggest that the Zucchini proteins act in primary piRNA biogenesis as nucleases, perhaps generating the 5' ends of primary piRNAs.
Title: The structural biochemistry of Zucchini implicates it as a nuclease in piRNA biogenesis.
MitoPLD performs a critical function in a pathway that creates a specialized form of RNAi required by developing spermatocytes to suppress transposon mobilization during meiosis.
Title: Roles for the lipid-signaling enzyme MitoPLD in mitochondrial dynamics, piRNA biogenesis, and spermatogenesis.
Data suggest that mitochondrial-surface phosphatidic acid generated by MitoPLD/Zuc recruits or activates nuage components critical for piRNA production.
Title: piRNA-associated germline nuage formation and spermatogenesis require MitoPLD profusogenic mitochondrial-surface lipid signaling.
Results indicate a conserved role for MITOPLD/Zuc in the piRNA pathway and link mitochondrial membrane metabolism/signaling to small RNA biogenesis.
Title: MITOPLD is a mitochondrial protein essential for nuage formation and piRNA biogenesis in the mouse germline.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
