This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. HIM-17is an abundant chromatin-associated protein that is required both for initiation of meiotic recombination and for the normal complement of histone modifications on sex chromosomes during meiotic prophase in C. elegans. HIM-17 is a modular protein containing of six copies of a large and highly degenerate but conserved motif that likely functions as a DNA binding module. To understand how HIM-17 serves as a molecular link between chromatin modification and meiotic double-strand break formation, we wish to identify the proteins that associate with HIM-17 in vivo using tandem mass spectrometry of immunoprecipitated protein complexes.
