Involvement of classical bipartite/karyopherin nuclear import pathway components in acrosomal trafficking and assembly during bovine and murid spermiogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

This study arose from our finding that SubH2Bv, a histone H2B variant residing in the subacrosomal compartment of mammalian spermatozoa, contains a bipartite nuclear localization signal (bNLS) but in spite of this did not enter the spermatid nucleus. Instead, it associated with proacrosomic and acrosomic vesicles, which were targeted to the nuclear surface to form the acrosome. On this basis we proposed that...
