Abstract
In animals, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) direct germline transposon silencing. Ge et al. now show that in Drosophila the RNA-binding ATPase protein Armitage uses ATP hydrolysis to selectively bind piRNA precursors, escorting them from the ping-pong piRNA-producing machinery in perinuclear nuage to the phased piRNA-producing pathway on mitochondria.
