    Abstract Gene expression is controlled via complex regulatory mechanisms involving transcription factors, chromatin modifications, and chromatin regulatory factors. Histone modifications, such as H3K27me3, H3K9ac, and H3K27ac, play an important role in controlling chromatin accessibility and transcriptional output. In vertebrates, the Transcriptional Intermediary Factor 1 (TIF1) family of proteins play essential roles in transcription, cell differentiation, DNA repair, and mitosis. Our study focused on Bonus, the sole member of the TIF1 family in

    Abstract PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guide transposable element repression in animal germ lines. In Drosophila, piRNAs are produced from heterochromatic loci, called piRNA clusters, which act as information repositories about genome invaders. piRNA generation by dual-strand clusters depends on the chromatin-bound Rhino-Deadlock-Cutoff (RDC) complex, which is deposited on clusters guided by piRNAs, forming a positive feedback loop in which piRNAs promote their own biogenesis. However, how piRNA clusters are formed before cognate piRNAs are present remains unknown. Here, we report spontaneous de novo piRNA cluster formation from repetitive transgenic sequences. Cluster formation occurs over several generations and requires continuous trans-generational maternal transmission of small RNAs. We discovered that maternally supplied small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) trigger de novo cluster activation in progeny. In contrast, siRNAs are dispensable for cluster function after its establishment. These results reveal an unexpected interplay between the siRNA and piRNA pathways and suggest a mechanism for de novo piRNA cluster formation triggered by siRNAs.

    Abstract piRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that guide the silencing of transposons and other targets in animal gonads. In Drosophila female germline, many piRNA source loci dubbed "piRNA clusters" lack hallmarks of active genes and exploit an alternative path for transcription, which relies on the Rhino-Deadlock-Cutoff (RDC) complex. RDC was thought to be absent in testis, so it remains to date unknown how piRNA cluster transcription is regulated in the male germline. We found that components of RDC complex are expressed in male germ cells during early spermatogenesis, from germline stem cells (GSCs) to early spermatocytes. RDC is essential for expression of dual-strand piRNA clusters and transposon silencing in testis; however, it is dispensable for expression of Y-linked Suppressor of Stellate piRNAs and therefore Stellate silencing. Despite intact Stellate repression, males lacking RDC exhibited compromised fertility accompanied by germline DNA damage and GSC loss. Thus, piRNA-guided repression is essential for normal spermatogenesis beyond Stellate silencing. While RDC associates with multiple piRNA clusters in GSCs and early spermatogonia, its localization changes in later stages as RDC concentrates on a single X-linked locus, AT-chX. Dynamic RDC localization is paralleled by changes in piRNA cluster expression, indicating that RDC executes a fluid piRNA program during different stages of spermatogenesis. These results disprove the common belief that RDC is dispensable for piRNA biogenesis in testis and uncover the unexpected, sexually dimorphic and dynamic behavior of a core piRNA pathway machinery.
