Chemical Differentiation of Nuclear Proteins during Spermatogenesis in the Salmon
نویسنده
چکیده
By means of qualitative staining experiments the characteristic protein changes which occur during maturation of salmon sperm can be followed. It can be observed that the replacement of histone by protamine takes place after completion of meiosis during an advanced stage of spermiogenesis.

Chemical Differentiation of Nuclear Proteins during Spermatogenesis in the Salmon*, by Max Alfert, Ph.d
The characteristic morphogenetic changes which occur during sperm formation are at times accompanied by profound chemical alterations of the nuclear material. Thus it has been known since Miescher's pioneer studies during the 1870's (19) that nuclei in the immature salmon testis contain nucleohistones, while ripe salmon sperm contain nucleoprotamines. Basic proteins which are intermediate in co...
متن کاملThe role of Musashi protein in spermatogenesis and male infertility
Background: Inactivation of transcription occurs during two phases of spermatogenesis. First, in spermatocytes entering the primary meiosis and the second in round and elongating spermatids. These stages of inactivated transcription demand extensive regulation of translation. Therefore, presence of the control on gene expression during spermatogenesis seems essential. In the cases that post-tra...
متن کاملNuclear Architecture and Epigenetics of Lineage Choice
Differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. A number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (DNA and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. Although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...
متن کاملI-51: The Role of the Transcription FactorGCNF in Germ Cell Differentiation and Reproductionin Mice
The germ cell nuclear factor (GCNF) is a member of the nuclear receptor super family of transcription factors. GCNF expression during gastrulation and neurulation is critical for normal embryogenesis in mice. GCNF represses expression of the POU domain transcription factor Oct4 during mouse post-implantation development in vivo. Oct4 is thus down-regulated during female gonadal development, whe...
متن کاملConfocal Analysis of Nuclear Lamina Behavior during Male Meiosis and Spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster
Lamin family proteins are structural components of a filamentous framework, the nuclear lamina (NL), underlying the inner membrane of nuclear envelope. The NL not only plays a role in nucleus mechanical support and nuclear shaping, but is also involved in many cellular processes including DNA replication, gene expression and chromatin positioning. Spermatogenesis is a very complex differentiati...
