General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
physiological function	SETDB1 is the bridge linking the DNA damage response to meiotic silencing in male mice. At the onset of silencing, X chromosome H3K9 trimethylation enrichment is downstream of DNA damage response factors. Without SETDB1, the X chromosome accrues DNA damage response proteins but not H3K9me3, so sex chromosome remodeling and silencing fail, causing germ cell apoptosis. Setdb1 deletion causes midpachytene apoptosis. SETDB1 is required for epigenetic remodeling of the XY pair, for condensation of the XY pair and for XY silencing at pachynema	Mus musculus
