The Microtubule Cytoskeleton during the Early Drosophila Spermiogenesis
Cells, 2020 Sperm elongation and nuclear shaping in Drosophila largely depends on the microtubule cytoskeleton that in early spermatids has centrosomal and non-centrosomal origins.

Loss of Cep72 affects the morphology of spermatozoa in mice
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The centrosome regulates mammalian meiosis by affecting recombination, synapsis, chromosome segregation, and spermiogenesis. Cep72 is one of the critical components of the centrosome.

Drosophila spermiogenesis [PDF]
Spermatogenesis, 2012 Drosophila melanogaster spermatids undergo dramatic morphological changes as they differentiate from small round cells approximately 12 μm in diameter into highly polarized, 1.8 mm long, motile sperm capable of participating in fertilization. During spermiogenesis, syncytial cysts of 64 haploid spermatids undergo synchronous differentiation.

TMPRSS12 Functions in Meiosis and Spermiogenesis and Is Required for Male Fertility in Mice
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Serine proteases are involved in many physiological activities as initiators of proteolytic cascades, and some members have been reported to play roles in male reproduction.

The deubiquitinase cofactor UAF1 interacts with USP1 and plays an essential role in spermiogenesis
iScienceSummary: Spermiogenesis defines the final phase of male germ cell differentiation. While multiple deubiquitinating enzymes have been linked to spermiogenesis, the impacts of deubiquitination on spermiogenesis remain poorly characterized.

TSNAXIP1 is required for sperm head formation and male fertility
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2023 Purpose TRANSLIN (TSN) and its binding partner TSNAX have been reported to contribute to a wide spectrum of biological activities including spermatogenesis. TSN accompanies specific mRNA transport in male germ cells through intercellular bridges.

Biology Open, 2021 Ciliary motility is powered by a suite of highly conserved axoneme-specific dynein motor complexes. In humans, the impairment of these motors through mutation results in the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Subcellular evidence for biogenesis of autophagosomal membrane during spermiogenesis in vivo
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Although autophagosome formation has attracted substantial attention, the origin and the source of the autophagosomal membrane remains unresolved.
