The spermatid manchette of mammals: formation and relations with the nuclear envelope and the chromatin.

چکیده
Up to now, microtubules have been described in the spermatids of all the species studied. In annelids (Webster and Richards, 1977), insects (Friedlander, 1976 ; Godula, 1979), whip scorpions (Phillips, 1976), fishes (Zirkin, 1975), amphibians (Picheral, 1972 ; Sandoz, 1974), sauropsidae (Nagano, 1962 ; Nicander, 1967 ; McIntosh and Porter, 1967 ; Marchand, 1977 ; Maretta, 1977) and such mammals as protheria (Sapsford et al., 1969 ; Phillips, 1970 ; Rattner, 1972 ; Harding et al., 1976), rodents r

Association of cytoplasmic dynein with manchette microtubules and spermatid nuclear envelope during spermiogenesis in rats.
During spermiogenesis, the shape of the spermatid nucleus, which is spherical, changes and it becomes the sperm head. A microtubular structure called a manchette is thought to be involved in this morphogenetic process. In this report, we demonstrate the localization of cytoplasmic dynein and manchette development by a double immunofluorescence technique using anti-bovine brain MAP 1C and anti-t...
متن کاملDescriptive Analysis of LAP1 Distribution and That of Associated Proteins throughout Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis comprises highly complex differentiation processes. Nuclear envelope (NE) proteins have been associated with these processes, including lamins, lamina-associated polypeptide (LAP) 2 and the lamin B-receptor. LAP1 is an important NE protein whose function has not been fully elucidated, but several binding partners allow predicting putative LAP1 functions. To date, LAP1 had not be...
متن کاملThe LINC complex component Sun4 plays a crucial role in sperm head formation and fertility
LINC complexes are evolutionarily conserved nuclear envelope bridges, physically connecting the nucleus to the peripheral cytoskeleton. They are pivotal for dynamic cellular and developmental processes, like nuclear migration, anchoring and positioning, meiotic chromosome movements and maintenance of cell polarity and nuclear shape. Active nuclear reshaping is a hallmark of mammalian sperm deve...
متن کاملARP1 in Golgi organisation and attachment of manchette microtubules to the nucleus during mammalian spermatogenesis.
Actin related protein of vertebrate, Arp1, is a major component of the dynactin complex. To characterise and localise Arp1 during mammalian spermatogenesis, polyclonal antibodies were raised against a human recombinant Arp1. Anti-Arp1 antibodies were used for western-immunoblotting, indirect immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. In round spermatids, Arp1 was detected at the centroso...
متن کاملThe molecular motor KIFC1 associates with a complex containing nucleoporin NUP62 that is regulated during development and by the small GTPase RAN.
KIFC1 is a C-terminal kinesin motor associated with the nuclear membrane and acrosome in round and elongating spermatids. This location in developing spermatids is consistent with possible roles in acrosome elongation and manchette motility or both. Here we describe the association of the KIFC1 motor with a complex containing the nucleoporin NUP62. Formation of this complex is developmentally r...
