Scheme of F1 hybrid genotypes to test the role of PRDM9 alleles in F1 hybrid fertility. (A) The laboratory model of (PWD×B6)F1 hybrid sterility. The first parent is female. Hybrid sterility depends on Prdm9 msc1/dom2 heterozygosity, presence of PWD allele of Hybrid sterility X2 (Hstx2PWD) on chromosome X and on interaction of homeologous (domesticus/musculus) autosomes. (B) The Hstx2PWD and Prdm9dom2 alleles interact with the Prdm9 allele from a wild-derived musculus In B6.DX1s×wild-derived musculus F1 hybrid. (C) The same cross as in (B) but Prdm9dom2 is replaced by humanized Prdm9dom2H, known to restore Prdm9-dependent sterility. (D) The same Prdm9 and Hstx2 genotype as in (A) but Prdm9dom2 is replaced by a wild-derived domesticus allele.
