Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n BRME1, also known as C19orf57 (or 4930432K21Rik in mice), has emerged as a critical factor in maintaining genome stability through its role in DNA repair and recombination. In the context of meiotic recombination, BRME1 directly interacts with single‑stranded DNA binding proteins such as BRCA2 and MEILB2/HSF2BP to ensure the proper recruitment of the recombinases RAD51 and DMC1 onto resected DNA double‑strand break sites. Disruption of BRME1 impairs the timely removal of ssDNA‑binding proteins and delays the loading of recombinases, ultimately leading to faulty double‑strand break repair and infertility, as observed in mouse spermatocytes."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In addition to its essential role in meiosis, emerging studies have implicated BRME1 in human reproductive and oncogenic contexts.
