Direct visualization of pre-protamine 2 detects protamine assembly failures and predicts ICSI success
1 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Histone-to-protamine transition is an essential step in the generation of fully functional spermatozoa in various mammalian species. In human and mouse, one of the two protamine-encoding genes produces a precursor pre-protamine 2 (pre-PRM2) protein, which is then processed and assembled. Here, we design an original approach based on the generation of pre-PRM2-specific antibodies to visualize the unprocessed...
