This study shows CifA and CifB proteins from Wolbachia prophage WO modify sperm genome integrity, causing cytoplasmic incompatibility in Drosophila by altering histone retention and protamine levels.
R. Kaur, J. D. Shropshire, B. A. Leigh, S. R. Bordenstein
The paper shows CifA and CifB nuclease activities cause DNA damage in spermatids, contributing to cytoplasmic incompatibility in Drosophila.

The paper analyzes gut bacterial genomes in Nasonia wasps to understand phylosymbiosis and bacterial-assisted hybrid breakdown, finding that hybrid bacteria are identical to parental species.
J. D. Shropshire, M. Kalra, S. R. Bordenstein
This study uses evolution-guided mutagenesis to identify functional regions in CifA and CifB proteins involved in cytoplasmic incompatibility and rescue in Wolbachia.

The paper identifies a maternal effect gene, Wds, that suppresses Wolbachia titer in Nasonia wasps through genetic and transcriptomic analysis.

This study examines the evolutionary genetics of cifA and cifB genes in Wolbachia prophage WO, showing they do not form an operon, exhibit distinct expression, and show gene degradation in non-CI strains.
