The piRNA protein Asz1 is essential for germ cell and gonad development in zebrafish and exhibits differential necessities in distinct types of germ granules. by Adam Ahmad, Yoel Bogoch, Gal Shvaizer, Noga Guler, Karine Levy, Yaniv M Elkouby

“…In asz1 mutant juvenile gonads, germ cells undergo extensive apoptosis, demonstrating that Asz1 is essential for germ cell survival. Mechanistically, we provide evidence to conclude that zygotic Asz1 is not required for primordial germ cell specification or migration to the gonad, but is essential during post-embryonic gonad development, likely by suppressing the expression of germline transposons. …”
