Remodelling the paternal chromatin at fertilization in mammals

1 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

At fertilization, the highly condensed and transcriptionally inert chromatin of the spermatozoa becomes remodelled into the decondensed and transcriptionally competent chromatin of the male pronucleus. The chromatin initially becomes dispersed and then transiently recondenses into a small mass upon entry into the ooplasm. This morphological change is coincident with and likely dependent on the replacement of the...
