Abstract

zuc/MitoPLD encodes a conserved enzyme that localizes to mitochondria and hydrolyzes the mitochondria-specific lipid cardiolipin. Surprisingly, zuc/MitoPLD activity is required for Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediated silencing of transposable elements in fly and mouse germlines, suggesting that signaling from mitochondria influences the piRNA pathway.
