Entropy-Based Analysis of Vertebrate Sperm Protamine Sequences: Evidence of Dityrosine and Cysteine-Tyrosine Cross-Linking in Sperm Protamines

2019-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Spermatogenesis is the process by which germ cells develop into spermatozoa in the testis. Sperm protamines are small, arginine-rich nuclear proteins which replace somatic histones during spermatogenesis, allowing a hypercondensed DNA state that leads to a smaller nucleus and facilitating sperm head formation. In eutherian mammals, the protamine-DNA complex is achieved through a combination of...
