Squid spermiogenesis: molecular characterization of testis-specific pro-protamines.
Cuttlefish spermiogenesis is characterized by a two-step nuclear protein transition: histones-->spermatid-specific protein (protein T)-->sperm protamine (protein Sp). A similar situation can be observed in another Cephalopod species, the squid Loligo pealeii. The protein T from Loligo consists of two structural variants, T1 and T2 (molecular masses: 10788 and 10791 Da respectively), phosphoryla...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a novel spermiogenesis-related gene, T6441, in rat testis.
We report in the present study the cloning and characterization of a novel gene, named T6441, initially derived by the suppressive subtracted hybridization (SSH) cDNA library. The full-length T6441cDNA was 664 bp long, containing a complete open-reading frame for a protein of 149 amino acids (aa). The protein bears no homology to any reported genes. It is predicted that the molecular mass was a...
متن کاملProtamines. Isolation, characterization, structure and function.
Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd protamines isolation characterization structure and function that can be a new way to...
متن کاملHILS1 is a spermatid-specific linker histone H1-like protein implicated in chromatin remodeling during mammalian spermiogenesis.
Chromatin remodeling is a major event that occurs during mammalian spermiogenesis, the process of spermatid maturation into spermatozoa. Nuclear condensation during spermiogenesis is accomplished by replacing somatic histones (linker histone H1 and core histones) and the testis-specific linker histone, H1t, with transition proteins and protamines. It has long been thought that H1t is the only t...
متن کاملCharacterization of MAGEG2 with testis-specific expression in mice
Male germ cell development is a well-defined process occurring in numerous seminiferous tubules of the testis. Uncovering testicular novel genes related to intrinsic regulation of spermatogenesis is essential for the understanding of spermatogenesis. In the present study, we investigated mouse Mageg2, which belongs to a group of melanoma-associated antigens (MAGEs). Mageg2 is transcribed in the...
