Structural highlights
FunctionSPOC1_MOUSE Essential excecutor of PIWIL4-piRNA pathway directed transposon DNA methylation and silencing in the male embryonic germ cells (PubMed:32674113). Associates with the de novo DNA methylation machinery and repressive chromatin remodeling complexes (PubMed:32674113). Tethering of PIWIL4 to a nascent transposable element transcript recruits repressive chromatin remodeling activities and the de novo methylation apparatus through SPOCD1 (PubMed:32674113). Not required for piRNA biosynthesis (PubMed:32674113).[1] References
