3D structure and in situ arrangements of CatSper channel in the sperm flagellum
17 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The sperm calcium channel CatSper plays a central role in successful fertilization as a primary Ca 2+ gateway. Here, we applied cryo-electron tomography to visualize the higher-order organization of the native CatSper complex in intact mammalian sperm. The repeating CatSper units form long zigzag-rows along mouse and human sperm flagella. Above each tetrameric channel pore, most of the extracellular...
