FER-1 regulates Ca2+ -mediated membrane fusion during C. elegans spermatogenesis.

Journal of cell science - 15 Jun 2006

Washington Nicole L, Ward Samuel

Abstract excerpt

FER-1 is required for fusion of specialized vesicles, called membranous organelles, with the sperm plasma membrane during Caenorhabditis elegans spermiogenesis. To investigate its role in membranous organelle fusion, we examined ten fer-1 mutations and found that they all cause the same defect in...
