Deskripsi

Before the onset of puberty, Polycomb proteins repress the expression of Kiss1 in KNDy neurons of the arcuate nucleus. Here, by CRISPR-Cas9-directed epigenome editing and RNAi, the authors show that coordinated action of Mll proteins at the Kiss1 promoter and enhancer is required for correct timing of puberty.
