motifs/domains
  • three copies of the LOTUS domain (domain found in germline-specific proteins that are present in the nuage/polar granules of germ cells) in its extreme N-terminus
  • a TUDOR domain, binding symmetric dimethyl arginines present on the germ cell-specific Piwi proteins, which form a particular clade of Argonaute proteins
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus LOC289129
    Homologene

    basic FUNCTION
  • TDRD5 and TDRD7, play key roles in facilitating the function of PIWIs by acting as scaffolds
  • TDRD5-TDRD7 are required for spermiogenesis
  • TDRD5, TDRD7, RNF17 proteins play distinct roles during male germ cell development
  • is an RNA-binding protein directly associating with piRNA precursors

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Tdrd5-deficient round spermatids injected into oocytes contribute to fertile offspring, demonstrating that acquisition of a functional haploid genome may be uncoupled from TDRD5 function
