In ovarian somatic cells, Egg is monoubiquitinated and phosphorylated but only monoubiquitination is required for piRNA-mediated transposon repression. Egg monoubiquitination occurs in the nucleus. Egg has its own nuclear localization signal, and the nuclear import of Egg is Wde-independent. Wde recruits Egg to the chromatin at target gene silencing loci, but their interaction is monoubiquitin-independent. | Essential roles of Windei and nuclear monoubiquitination of Eggless/SETDB1 in transposon silencing.
