Figure 1. (A) Cartoon of a normal dividing cell with meotic/mitotic spindle at the top. Complexes of Argonaute proteins (green) and antisense TE fragments capture and destroy TE mRNAs. (B) Dividing cell infected with Wolbachia. Wolbachia (brown) associate with microtubuli (top) and capture Argonaute proteins (green). TE derived mRNAs are left to insert back into the host genome.
