Broad phosphorylation mediated by testis-specific serine/threonine kinases contributes to spermiogenesis and male fertility
6 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Genetic studies elucidate a link between testis-specific serine/threonine kinases (TSSKs) and male infertility in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we identify a TSSK homolog inDrosophila, CG14305 (termed dTSSK), whose mutation impairs the histone-to-protamine transition during spermiogenesis and causes multiple phenotypic defects in nuclear shaping, DNA condensation, and...
