Involvement of Mouse Nucleoplasmin 2 in the Decondensation of Sperm Chromatin after Fertilization1
18 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
The tightly condensed chromatin of spermatozoa is rapidly decondensed after the spermatozoa enter oocytes. Although no factor involved in sperm chromatin decondensation (SCD) has been identified in mammals, it has been suggested that a factor related to SCD activity is present in the germinal vesicle (GV) of oocytes. Here, we found that the nucleolus-like body (NLB), which is a component of the GV, is involved in...
