Genetic and Chemical Controls of Sperm Fate and Spermatocyte Dedifferentiation in <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>
2022-12-21
Abstract excerpt
Using the nematode C. elegans germline as a model system, we previously reported that PUF-8 (a PUF RNA-binding protein) and LIP-1 (a dual-specificity phosphatase) repress sperm fate at 20°C and the dedifferentiation of spermatocytes into mitotic cells (termed "spermatocyte dedifferentiation") at 25°C. Thus, double mutants lacking both PUF-8 and LIP-1 produce excess sperm at 20°C, and their spermatocyte...
