Meiotic Telomere Distribution and Sertoli Cell Nuclear Architecture Are Altered in Atm- andAtm-p53-Deficient Mice
15 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
The ataxia telangiectasia mutant (ATM) protein is an intrinsic part of the cell cycle machinery that surveys genomic integrity and responses to genotoxic insult. Individuals with ataxia telangiectasia as well as Atm(-/-) mice are predisposed to cancer and are infertile due to spermatogenesis disruption during first meiotic prophase. Atm(-/-) spermatocytes frequently display aberrant synapsis and clustered...
