Zinc is an intracellular signal during sperm activation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 2021

Tan Chieh-Hsiang, Kornfeld Kerry

Abstract excerpt

Sperm activation is a rapid and dramatic cell differentiation event that does not involve changes in transcription, and the signaling cascades that mediate this process have not been fully defined. zipt-7.1 encodes a zinc transporter, and zipt-7.1(lf) mutants display sperm-activation defects, leading to the hypothesis that zinc signaling mediates sperm activation in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we describe the...
