AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Annotated transcripts do not represent all supported alternative splices within 5' UTR.

Interacts (via C-terminus) with AGO3 (via the N-terminal region when symmetrically methylated on arginine residues); this interaction is RNA-independent and may be required for AGO3 localization to the nuage (PubMed:21447556). Interacts (via Tudor domain) with piwi (via N-terminus) (PubMed:21447556, PubMed:29531043). Interacts with tral and me31B (PubMed:21447556).
The Tudor domain is sufficient for binding to the N-terminus (1-14) of both unmethylated piwi or piwi symmetrically dimethylated at 'Arg-10' (PubMed:29531043). However, it may not be sufficient for binding to symmetrically dimethylated AGO3, instead this interaction may require a larger region of the C-terminus which includes the Tudor domain (257-576) (PubMed:21447556, PubMed:29531043).

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

In adult fly ovaries papi is predominantly present in the the cytoplasm of both germarium cells and somatic follicle cells. It is present in germline stem cells and germline cyst cells, as well as in nurse cells and oocytes with a strong accumulation in region IIb germline cysts in the germarium. In post-germarial egg chambers, papi accumulates in perinuclear loci that appear to be the nuage. In early embryos, papi is the cytoplasm throughout the whole embryo, including the pole cells. No specific localization was observed in embryos. Colocalization of papi with AGO3 was seen, particularly in the cytoplasm of germline stem cells, differentiating cysts, and postgermarial egg chambers. It is particularly pronounced in the nuage of nurse cells. In early embryos, they colocalize in the cytoplasm.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
