Abstract
Aim: To explore the role of Piwi protein and piRNAs in DNMT3L-mediated epigenetic inheritance. Materials & methods: Transgenic Drosophila were used to examine the effect of ectopically expressed DNMT3L on the profile of piRNAs by sequencing of small RNAs. Results & conclusion: Our previous work showed accumulation and inheritance of epimutations across multiple generations in transgenic DNMT3L Drosophila. Here, we show interaction of DNMT3L with Piwi and a significant alteration in the piRNA profile across multiple generations in transgenic Drosophila. In the light of its interaction with histone H1, we propose that in addition to its role of modulating core histone modifications, DNMT3L allows for inheritance of epigenetic information through its collaboration with Piwi, piRNAs and histone H1.
期刊介绍：
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
