Summary: Involved in DNA methylation and negative regulation of transposition. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male gamete generation; regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and synaptonemal complex assembly. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in meninges; oocyte; sensory organ; and spinal cord mantle layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 25. Orthologous to human TEX15 (testis expressed 15, meiosis and synapsis associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

TEX15 associates with MILI and silences transposable elements in male germ cells.
Title: TEX15 associates with MILI and silences transposable elements in male germ cells.
TEX15 is an essential executor of MIWI2-directed transposon DNA methylation and silencing.
Title: TEX15 is an essential executor of MIWI2-directed transposon DNA methylation and silencing.
Loss of TEX15 leads to DNA hypomethylation and de-silencing of transposable elements, at a level comparable to loss of MILI or DNMT3C but not MIWI2. TEX15 is associated with MILI in testis. piRNA biogenesis is intact in TEX15-deficient male germ cells.
Title: TEX15 associates with MILI and silences transposable elements in male germ cells.
Based on these data, we propose that TEX15 regulates the loading of DNA repair proteins onto sites of DSBs and, thus, its absence causes a failure in meiotic recombination.
Title: Mouse TEX15 is essential for DNA double-strand break repair and chromosomal synapsis during male meiosis.
Tex15 is essential for male meiosis and for chromosomal synapsis. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are formed but not repaired in Tex15-deficient males.
Title: Mouse TEX15 is essential for DNA double-strand break repair and chromosomal synapsis during male meiosis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
