Chemosensory and hyperoxia circuits in C. elegans males influence sperm navigational capacity.

PLoS biology - 1 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

The sperm's crucial function is to locate and fuse with a mature oocyte. Under laboratory conditions, Caenorhabditis elegans sperm are very efficient at navigating the hermaphrodite reproductive tract and locating oocytes. Here, we identify chemosensory and oxygen-sensing circuits that affect the sperm's navigational capacity. Multiple Serpentine Receptor B (SRB) chemosensory receptors regulate Gα pathways in...
