Yeast disruptor of telomeric silencing-1 (DOT1) functions in gene silencing at the pachytene checkpoint during the meiotic cell cycle. This owes to the fact that DOT1 methylates Histone H3 at lysine 79. Methylation of histone proteins affects chromatin structure to regulate gene expression, in this case, resulting in silencing of genes located near chromosome telomeres. This methylation limits silencing to discrete loci by preventing the binding of Sir proteins along the genome, and as these interacting proteins are conserved across species, similar mechanisms likely exist in other eukaryotes.
