A Drosophila Piwi-family protein that participates with Aubergine in piRNA ping-pong amplification.
Complementary cleavage relationships between small-RNA molecular populations can reinforce production of transposon-targeting guides. The resulting signature links sequence recognition to amplification rather than simply accumulating every small RNA indiscriminately. [ref]
