The gene MSL1 (male specific lethal 1 homolog) encodes a protein associated with mammalian MOF (male-absent-on-the-first)-MSL (male-specific-lethal) complex that is also referred to as the ‘;dosage compensation complex’; (DCC). This complex is involved in the equalization of X-chromosomal genes expression between males and females. It is found to form a complex with Nupr1 (nuclear protein 1) in the nucleus in response to DNA-damage and may be involved in DNA repair activity. MSL1 protein is found to regulate acetylation of global histone H4 via its interaction with KAT8 (lysine acetyltransferase 8).
