Transposable elements (TEs) pose a threat to genome integrity, and the piRNA pathway in animal gonads plays a crucial role in silencing TE activity. While the transcriptional regulation of the piRNA pathway components in germ cells has been documented in mice and flies, the mechanisms orchestrating the transcriptional program of the somatic piRNA pathway in
