CXXC1 is redundant for normal DNA double-strand break formation and meiotic recombination in mouse
2018-04-20
Abstract excerpt
In most mammals, including mice and humans, meiotic recombination is determined by the meiosis specific histone methytransferase PRDM9, which binds to specific DNA sequences and trimethylates histone 3 at lysine-4 and lysine-36 at the adjacent nucleosomes. These actions ensure successful DNA double strand break initiation and repair that occur on the proteinaceous structure forming the chromosome axis. The process...
