Zinc ion flux during mammalian sperm capacitation

Nature Communications, 2018
During sperm capacitation physiological changes occur that are required for fertilization. Here, the authors describe four sperm zinc signatures during invitro capacitation that are indicative of sperm quality and capacity to fertilize.

Impact of Chemotherapy on Sperm Functional Characteristics in Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumours

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) are the most common malignancies among young men and represent a major threat to reproductive health. Both the disease itself and oncological treatments, particularly chemotherapy, can compromise spermatogenesis and semen quality.

Potassium ion influx and Na+,K+-ATPase activity are required for the hamster sperm acrosome reaction. [PDF]

, 1981
The role of a K+ ion influx and Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the hamster sperm acrosome reaction (AR) was examined, using a range of concentrations of K+,K+ ionophores and a Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor.

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

Capacitative Calcium Entry [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1997
A long-standing mystery in the cell biology of calcium channel regulation is the nature of the signal linking intracellular calcium stores to plasma membrane capacitative calcium entry channels. An RNAi-based screen of selected Drosophila genes has revealed that a calcium-binding protein, stromal interaction molecule (STIM), plays an essential role in ...

Testis‐Enriched F‐Box Protein FBXO39 Is Important for Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The SCF (Skp–Cullin–F‐box) complex is a major class of E3 ubiquitin ligases. F‐box proteins constitute the SCF complex and play a critical role in recognizing substrates for ubiquitination. In mice, several F‐box proteins, including FBXO36 and FBXO39, are predominantly expressed in testes.
