Spermitin: a novel mitochondrial protein in Drosophila spermatids.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Chen Jieyan V, Megraw Timothy L

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria, important energy centers in the cell, also control sperm cell morphogenesis. Drosophila spermatids have a remarkably large mitochondrial formation called the nebenkern. Immediately following meiosis during sperm development, the mitochondria in the spermatid fuse together into two large aggregates which then wrap around one another to produce the spherical nebenkern: a giant mitochondrion about 6...
