Effects of latrunculin A on the relocation of sperm IZUMO1 during gamete interaction in mouse
We report that 25 µM LatA blocked actin polymerization in the capacitated sperm head, resulting in a marked decrease in sperm with relocated IZUMO1 during the A23187‐induced acrosome reaction and cumulus layer penetration. Treated sperm also exhibited reduced zona pellucida penetration and fertilizing capacity. Interestingly, LatA‐treated sperm present in the perivitelline space of eggs did not show impaired IZUMO1 relocation. Thus, IZUMO1 relocation represents one method by which eggs may select for or rescue sperm that are competent to undergo gamete adhesion/fusion. These data support the hypothesis that dynamic ...

Immunodetection of acetylated Alpha ‐tubulin in stony corals: evidence for the existence of flagella in coral male germ cells
This study focused on the expression pattern of acetylated α‐tubulin (Ac‐α‐Tu), which is involved in male germ cell development in various animals across taxa, to gain a better understanding of male germ cell development in the stony coral Euphyllia ancora. Immunohistochemical analysis of the different stages of male germ cells showed the presence of filamentous Ac‐α‐Tu in the early to late stages of male germ cells – such as spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids – and as well as in the flagella of mature sperm. Immunocytochemical and transmission electron microscope analyses demonstrated that early...
