Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiondpy-21 encodes a novel, conserved protein with a proline-rich N terminus; dpy-21 affects RNA levels of X-linked dosage-compensated genes, body length in hermaphrodites, and fertility and male tail development in males; DPY-21 interacts in vivo with DPY-27 and SDC-3, members of the dosage compensation complex, and like members of the dosage compensation complex, is diffusely localized in nuclei of XX embryos containing <40 cells, but then specifically localizes to X chromosomes of XX embryos with >40 cells, remaining on the X throughout development; in XO embryos, DPY-21 is dispersed throughout the nucleus in multiple foci that are not coincident with the X chromosome; in hermaphrodites, localization of DPY-21 to the X chromosome requires activity of SDC-2, SDC-3, DPY-26, DPY-27, and DPY-28; DPY-21 is not, however, required reciprocally for the stability or localization of these other dosage compensation proteins; in addition, unlike SDC-3 and other members of the dosage compensation complex, DPY-21 is not recruited to the autosomal her-1 regulatory region, suggesting that DPY-21 is not part of the gene-specific complex that represses her-1 expression in hermaphrodites.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000665
