Background

HIWI (human homolog of drosophila piwi), also called PIWIL1 (piwi-like 1) is an 861 amino acid, 99 kDa (predicted) cytoplasmic protein of the PIWI subgroup of the Argonaute family. PIWI domains bind a class of ~29-30 nucleotide RNAs termed piRNAs (piwi domain-binding RNAs). PIWIL1 orthologs are expressed with piRNAs in germ cells and are essential for spermatogenesis in mice. CD34⁺ hematopoietic progenitor cell PIWIL1 is downregulated upon differentiation. When overexpressed in leukemic cell lines, PIWIL1 inhibits growth and induces apoptosis. Human PIWIL1 shares 95% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat PIWIL1.

Limitations
