Abstract excerpt
Scaffold attachment factors SAFB1 and SAFB2 are multifunctional proteins that share >70% sequence similarity. SAFB1-knockout (SAFB1(-/-)) mice display a high degree of lethality, severe growth retardation, and infertility in male mice. To assess the in vivo role of SAFB2, and to identify unique functions of the two paralogs, we generated SAFB2(-/-) mice. In stark contrast to SAFB1(-/-), SAFB2(-/-) offspring were...
