Calcium in the flagellum controls sperm navigation. In sperm of marine invertebrates and mammals, Ca(2+) signalling has been intensely studied, whereas for fish little is known. In sea urchin sperm, a cyclic nucleotide-gated K(+) channel (CNGK) mediates a cGMP-induced hyperpolarization that evokes Ca(2+) influx. Here, we identify in sperm of the freshwater fish Danio rerio a novel CNGK family m...
yeast has been a very helpful organism for centuries, especially with respect to fermentation of sugars and production of bread. however, for an even longer time, yeast has been a distant relative of humans having diverged from a common ancestor, about one billion years ago. more than one third of the yeast genes have human counterparts, despite this evolutionary distance. yeast and human ortho...
In this paper, we propose a hybrid algorithm combining two different metaheuristic methods, “Genetic Algorithms (GA)” and “Sperm Swarm Optimization (SSO)”, for the global optimization of multimodal benchmarks functions. The proposed Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Sperm (HGASSO) operates based on incorporates concepts from GA SSO in which generates individuals new iteration not only by crossover mutat...
Background: The fertilizing sperm potential is directly related to its mitochondria activity evaluated by measuring the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). The objectives of the present study were to investigate the vitality and mitochondrial membrane potential of sperm in infertile men by the and to assess the correlations between sperm parameters and the level of sperm mitochondrial membr...
Sperm nuclear basic proteins of Bufo japonicus consist of 2 distinct protamines, whereas those of Xenopus laevis consist of 6 sperm-specific basic proteins (SP1-6) in addition to H3, H4 and smaller amounts of H2A and H2B. Cloning of pertinent cDNAs and partial amino acid sequence studies suggested that these 6 sperm-specific proteins of Xenopus are encoded by 3 distinct genes. Despite differenc...
The regulatory factor X (RFX) family of transcription factors is crucial for ciliogenesis throughout evolution. In mice, Rfx1-4 are highly expressed in the testis where flagellated sperm are produced, but the functions of these factors in spermatogenesis remain unknown. Here, we report the production and characterization of the Rfx2 knockout mice. The male knockout mice were sterile due to the ...
Sperm competition is a potent postcopulatory selective force where sperm from rival males compete to fertilize a limited set of ova. Considering that sperm production is costly, we expect males to strategically allocate sperm in accordance with the level of competition. Accordingly, previous work has examined a male's strategic allocation in terms of sperm number. However, the seminal fluid pro...
Synthetic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), omnipresent in food, household, and personal care products, have been implicated in adverse trends in human reproduction, including infertility and increasing demand for assisted reproduction. Here, we study the action of 96 ubiquitous EDCs on human sperm. We show that structurally diverse EDCs activate the sperm-specific CatSper channel and, the...
Defining the forces that sculpt genome organization is fundamental for understanding the origin, persistence, and diversification of species. The genomic sequences of the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae provide an excellent opportunity to explore the dynamics of chromosome evolution. Extensive chromosomal rearrangement has accompanied divergence from their common an...
Data about the entire sperm DNA methylome are limited to two sperm donors whereas studies dealing with a greater number of subjects focused only on a few genes or were based on low resolution arrays. This implies that information about what we can consider as a normal sperm DNA methylome and whether it is stable among different normozoospermic individuals is still missing. The definition of the...
