The Caenorhabditis elegans spe‐49 gene is required for fertilization and encodes a sperm‐specific transmembrane protein homologous to SPE‐42

25 Apr 2018

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization, the fusion of sperm and oocyte to form a zygote, is the first and arguably the most important cell–cell interaction event in an organism’s life. Forward and reverse genetic approaches in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have identified many genes that are required for gametogenesis and fertilization and thus are beginning to elucidate the molecular pathways that underlie these processes. We...
