Abstract: Abstract Speciation research has largely overlooked reproductive barriers acting between copulation and the formation of the zygote (i.e., postmating, prezygotic [PMPZ] barriers), especially in internally fertilizing vertebrates. Nonetheless, it is becoming clear that PMPZ reproductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2207263120
Abstract: Significance In mammals, multiple sperm acrosomal membrane proteins are indispensable for sperm–egg interaction, yet the mechanisms underlying their biosynthesis have remained unknown. This study reveals that mouse 1700029I15Rik stabilizes OST subunits important for N-glycosylation and… read more here.
