Class VI unconventional myosin is required for spermatogenesis in Drosophila.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Dec 1999

Abstract excerpt

We have identified partial loss of function mutations in class VI unconventional myosin, 95F myosin, which results in male sterility. During spermatogenesis the germ line precursor cells undergo mitosis and meiosis to form a bundle of 64 spermatids. The spermatids remain interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges until individualization. The process of individualization involves the formation of a complex of...
