Primitive Erythropoiesis in the Mouse is Independent of DOT1L Methyltransferase Activity

DOT1-like (DOT1L) histone methyltransferase is essential for mammalian erythropoiesis. Loss of DOT1L in knockout (Dot1l-KO) mouse embryos resulted in lethal anemia at midgestational age. The only recognized molecular function of DOT1L is its methylation of histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79). We generated...
