Spermiogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans: An Excellent Model to Explore the Molecular Basis for Sperm Activation.

Biomolecules - 7 Apr 2023

Shimada Yoshihiro, Kanazawa-Takino Nana, Nishimura Hitoshi

Abstract excerpt

C. elegans spermiogenesis converts non-motile spermatids into motile, fertilization-competent spermatozoa. Two major events include the building of a pseudopod required for motility and fusion of membranous organelles (MOs)-intracellular secretory vesicles-with the spermatid plasma membrane required for the proper distribution of sperm molecules in mature spermatozoa. The mouse sperm acrosome reaction-a sperm...
