A DNA repair protein and histone methyltransferase interact to promote genome stability in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line.

Histone modifications regulate gene expression and chromosomal events, yet how histone-modifying enzymes are targeted is poorly understood. Here we report that a conserved DNA repair protein, SMRC-1, associates with MET-2, the C. elegans histone methyltransferase responsible for H3K9me1 and me2 depo...
