PIWI Proteins Play an Antiviral Role in Lepidopteran Cell Lines

PIWI Proteins Play an Antiviral Role in Lepidopteran Cell Lines

Insect antiviral immunity primarily relies on RNAi mechanisms. While a key role of small interfering (si)RNAs and AGO proteins has been well established in this regard, the situation for PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting (pi)RNAs is not as clear. In the present study, we investigate whether PIWI pr...
