EWSR1 affects PRDM9-dependent histone 3 methylation and provides a link between recombination hotspots and the chromosome axis
2018-05-17
Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination in most mammals requires recombination hotspot activation through the action of the histone 3 lysine-4 and lysine-36 methyltransferase PRDM9 to ensure successful double-strand break initiation and repair. Here we show that EWSR1, a protein whose role in meiosis was not previously clarified in detail, binds to both PRDM9 and pREC8, a phosphorylated meiosis-specific cohesin, in male meiotic cel...
