Drosophila melanogaster Piwi functions within the germline stem cells (GSCs) and the somatic niche to regulate GSC self-renewal and differentiation. How Piwi influences GSCs is largely unknown. We uncovered a genetic interaction between Piwi and c-Fos in the somatic niche that influences GSCs. c-Fos is a proto-oncogene that influences many cell and developmental processes. In wild-type ovarian cells, c-Fos is post-transcriptionally repressed by Piwi, which destabilized the c-Fos mRNA by promoting the processing of its 3′ untranslated region (UTR) into Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). The c-Fos 3′ UTR was sufficient to trigger Piwi-dependent destabilization of a GFP reporter. Piwi represses c-Fos in the somatic niche to regulate GSC maintenance and differentiation and in the somatic follicle cells to affect somatic cell disorganization, tissue dysmorphogenesis, oocyte maturation arrest, and infertility. The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is consisted of germ cells differentiated from GSCs and ovarian somatic cells that provide structural support to the organ. Piwi is a ribonucleoprotein required for GSC maintenance and differentiation in the Drosophila ovary. Piwi does so by influencing GSC-autonomous mechanisms or the somatic niche signaling. The somatic niche is composed of cells adjacent to the GSC that signal to promote GSC functions. Piwi and piRNAs are also known to repress transposons. We found that Piwi genetically interacts with c-Fos in the somatic niche and represses c-Fos expression in the ovarian somatic cells. Piwi destabilizes the c-Fos mRNA by mediating the generation of piRNAs from its 3′ UTR. Piwi represses c-Fos in the somatic niche to promote GSC functions and in the somatic ovarian cells to influence cell organization, tissue morphogenesis, and egg production.
