Evolution of testis-specific kinases TSSK1B and TSSK2 in primates.

Andrology - 1 Jan 2013

Shang P, Hoogerbrugge J, Baarends W M, Grootegoed J A

Abstract excerpt

The testis-specific serine/threonine protein kinases TSSK1 and TSSK2 are known to be essential for male fertility, in mice. The enzymes are present in elongating spermatids, and targeted deletion of the two genes Tssk1 and Tssk2 results in dysregulation of spermiogenesis. The mouse genes are genetically closely linked, forming a Tssk1-Tssk2 tandem. In human, TSSK1 is present in the form of a pseudogene, TSSK1A,...
