DAXX governs the silencing of LINE1 during spermatogenesis in miceNucleic acids research · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The disinhibition of transposon elements (TEs) is a significant threat to male reproduction, particularly during the delicate process of spermatogenesis. Here we identify that Death associated protein 6 (Daxx), a potent transcription repressor and an H3.3 chaperone essential for the TEs silencing during spermatogenesis. DAXX-deficient mouse display delayed meiotic progression, reduced production of spermatids, deformed spermatozoa and age-dependent decline in male fertility.

We demonstrate that young long-interspersed nuclear elements (LINE1) and endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) subfamilies, were upregulated in meiotic spermatocytes of Daxx null testes. Further study found that the Daxx mutant meiotic cells exhibit DNA hypomethylation in TEs. In summary, we have identified DAXX as a previously unknown key regulator of spermatogenesis that may function as an epigenetic regulator to silence young LINE1 by DNA methylation.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE293055_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1225444 and SRA study SRP568175. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a case/control comparison: 20 samples read as cases, 20 as controls.

How we read this: 16 replicated groups read from 40 sample titles; they account for 40 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
