Abstract
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guide PIWI proteins to bind and cleave RNAs. Originally, piRNAs were described as a system for transposable element repression. Recently, Anzelon, Choudhury, Hughes et al. uncovered the structural basis for piRNA targeting, whereby they are recognized in a manner distinct from targeting by miRNAs.
