The suppression of transposable elements in the germline is critical for safeguarding fertility. Here we identified that DAXX (death-associated protein 6), a potent transcription repressor and an H3.3 chaperone, was indispensable for silencing of transposable elements during spermatogenesis. Daxx germline conditional knockout mice exhibited delayed meiotic progression, spermiogenesis defects, and an age-dependent decline in fertility. The ablation of DAXX led to activation of evolutionarily youn ...[more]
