SUN5, a testis-specific nuclear membrane protein, participates in recruitment and export of nuclear mRNA in spermatogenesis
1 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
SUN5, a testis-specific gene, is associated with acephalic spermatozoa syndrome (ASS). Here, we demonstrate that SUN5 is involved in mRNA export. In Sun5-knockout mice (Sun5–/–), poly(A)+ RNA accumulates in the nuclei of germ cells, leading to reduced sperm counts, decreased sperm motility and disrupted sperm head-to-tail junctions. Additionally, in the GC-2 germ cell line with RNA interference of Sun5,...
