Abstract TDP-43 is a conserved RNA/DNA-binding protein infamous for its pathological roles in numerous human neurodegenerative diseases. However, TDP-43 is expressed in diverse cell types and its evolved biological functions are unclear. We show that Drosophila TDP-43 homolog (TBPH) and its retrocopy (Cocoon) are expressed in prophase I of male meiosis and promote regulated expression of abundant double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) in spermatocyte nuclei.
