Germline development requires distinct types of germ granules, which contains RNA-protein (RNP) complexes, including germ plasm in embryos, piRNA granules in gonadal germ cells, and the Balbiani body (Bb) in oocytes. However, the regulation of RNP assemblies in zebrafish germline development are still poorly understood. Asz1 is a piRNA protein in\n                    <jats:italic>Drosophila<\/jats:italic>\n                    and mice. Zebrafish Asz1 localizes to both piRNA and Bb granules, with yet unknown functions. Here, we hypothesized that Asz1 functions in germ granules and germline development in zebrafish. We generated\n                    <jats:italic>asz1<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutant fish to determine the roles of Asz1 in germ cell development. We show that Asz1 is dispensable for somatic development, but essential for germ cell and gonad development.\n                    <jats:italic>asz1<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>\n                      <jats:italic>-\/-<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sup>\n                    fish developed exclusively as sterile males with severely underdeveloped testes that lacked germ cells. In\n                    <jats:italic>asz1<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutant juvenile gonads, germ cells undergo extensive apoptosis, demonstrating that Asz1 is essential for germ cell survival. Mechanistically, we provide evidence to conclude that zygotic Asz1 is not required for primordial germ cell specification or migration to the gonad, but is essential during post-embryonic gonad development, likely by suppressing the expression of germline transposons. Increased transposon expression and mis-organized piRNA granules in\n                    <jats:italic>asz1<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutants, argue that zebrafish Asz1 functions in the piRNA pathway. We generated\n                    <jats:italic>asz1;tp53<\/jats:italic>\n                    fish to partially rescue ovarian development, revealing that Asz1 is also essential for oogenesis. We further showed that in contrast with piRNA granules, Asz1 is dispensable for Bb granule formation, as shown by normal Bb localization of Buc and\n                    <jats:italic>dazl<\/jats:italic>\n                    . By uncovering Asz1 as an essential regulator of germ cell survival and gonadogenesis in zebrafish, and determining its differential necessity in distinct germ granule types, our work advances our understanding of the developmental genetics of reproduction and fertility, as well as of germ granule biology.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pgen.1010868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T14:09:42Z","timestamp":1736777382000},"page":"e1010868","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pgen.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The piRNA protein Asz1 is essential for germ cell and gonad development in zebrafish and exhibits differential necessities in distinct types of germ granules"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Adam","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoel","family":"Bogoch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gal","family":"Shvaizer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8560-1995","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Noga","family":"Guler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karine","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9043-4106","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yaniv M.","family":"Elkouby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"pgen.1010868.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"690","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg1154","article-title":"Primordial germ-cell development: the zebrafish perspective","volume":"4","author":"E.
