Structural basis for C. elegans pairing center DNA binding specificity by the ZIM/HIM-8 family proteins

Abstract Pairing center (PC) on each chromosome of Caenorhabditis elegans is crucial for homolog pairing and initiating synapsis. Within each PC, clusters of 11/12 bp DNA motif recruit one of four paralogous meiosis-specific proteins: ZIM-1, ZIM-2, ZIM-3, or HIM-8. However, the mechanistic basis und...
