The Art of Packaging the Sperm Genome: Molecular and Structural Basis of the Histone-To-Protamine Exchange
22 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Male fertility throughout life hinges on the successful production of motile sperm, a developmental process that involves three coordinated transitions: mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. Germ cells undergo both mitosis and meiosis to generate haploid round spermatids, in which histones bound to the male genome are replaced with small nuclear proteins known as protamines. During this transformation, the...
