A Revised Perspective on the Evolution of Troponin I and Troponin T Gene Families in Vertebrates

William Joyce et al.

Summary: The troponin complex, responsible for muscle activation, is composed of three interacting protein subunits: TnC, TnI, and TnT. Through phylogenetic and synteny analysis, we have identified five distinct TNNI classes (TNNI1-5) and four TNNT classes (TNNT1-4) in a diverse array of vertebrates.

The molecular evolution of spermatogenesis across mammals

Florent Murat et al.

Summary: Through evolutionary analysis of single-nucleus transcriptome data from 11 species, it was found that the rapid evolution of the testis was driven by accelerated fixation rates of gene expression changes, amino acid substitutions, and new genes in late spermatogenic stages. The study also revealed that genes predominantly expressed in spermatogonia and Sertoli cells accumulated on X chromosomes during evolution, possibly due to male-beneficial selective forces. Additionally, it was discovered that meiotic sex-chromosome inactivation (MSCI) is an ancestral feature in mammalian sex-chromosome systems, including monotremes.

Bud31-mediated alternative splicing is required for spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal and differentiation

Junchao Qin et al.

Summary: This study reveals the crucial role of spliceosome component Bud31 in spermatogenesis in mice. Germ cell-specific knockout of Bud31 leads to male infertility. Bud31 is required for both spermatogonial stem cell pool maintenance and the initiation of spermatogenesis. The findings suggest that Bud31-mediated alternative splicing regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of male germ cells in mammals.

Proteasome complexes experience profound structural and functional rearrangements throughout mammalian spermatogenesis

Dusan Zivkovic et al.

Summary: During spermatogenesis, the proteasome plays a crucial role in regulating cell division processes. The s20S proteasome becomes highly active during meiosis, mainly through 19S activation and PA200 binding. The proteasome population shifts from c20S to s20S during differentiation, and s20S interacts with components of the meiotic synaptonemal complex. In vitro, s20S shows higher trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like activities and displays structural differences between alpha 4 and alpha 4s.

Summary: This study investigates the role of retinoic acid (RA) in the regulation of chordate and vertebrate pronephros formation through a comparative developmental approach. The results show that the conservation of Pax2 and Lim1 expressions in chordate pronephros homologs is present, but the responsiveness to RA and Hox-dependent regulation is a novelty in gnathostomes.

Ubiquitin-Proteasome System-Regulated Protein Degradation in Spermatogenesis

Yi Xiong et al.

Summary: This review discusses the functions of ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) components in mammalian spermatogenesis, including the composition of proteasome isoforms at each stage, the specificity and associated degradation events of each isoform, E3 ubiquitin ligases mediating protein ubiquitination, and the deubiquitinases involved in spermatogenesis and male fertility. Exploring the UPS machineries in spermatogenesis provides insights into protein dynamics during male germ cell production and sheds light on the etiology and pathogenesis of human male infertility.

This study investigates the evolutionary history of the TLR15 gene, revealing its presence in early branching jawed vertebrates and ongoing pseudogenization in these ancient vertebrates. The unique phylogenetic distribution of TLR15 suggests its ancient origin and potential implications for the immune response in different lineages of vertebrates.

Summary: The chaperone machinery of heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) is crucial for the stability and activity of its client proteins. Recent findings suggest that the co-chaperones FNIP1/2 and Tsc1 have an impact on Hsp90's client activity. They increase the affinity of steroid hormone receptors to their ligands, providing a model for the activation of these receptors.

Delivery of ceramide phosphoethanolamine lipids to the cleavage furrow through the endocytic pathway is essential for male meiotic cytokinesis

Govind Kunduri et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers discovered that CPE is a key lipid molecule in Drosophila spermatocyte division, and its deficiency leads to meiotic cytokinesis defects. They also found that CPE is enriched in Rab7-labeled multivesicular bodies, which localize to the cleavage furrow. Additional experiments demonstrated the requirement of Rab11 for the localization of CPE-enriched endosomes to the cleavage furrow.

The immunoglobulins of cartilaginous fishes

Hanover Matz et al.

Summary: Cartilaginous fishes, including chimeras, sharks, skates, and rays, split from the common ancestor with other jawed vertebrates around 450 million years ago. They are the oldest extant taxonomic group with an Ig-based adaptive immune system, and research has revealed the conservation and taxon-specific characteristics of Igs, as well as significant progress in analyzing genomic and transcriptomic data sets. Functional studies have further enhanced our understanding of Ig and humoral response in sharks and their relatives, but there are still areas where knowledge is lacking.

Summary: Here we demonstrate the essential roles of Cul4a and Cul4b in murine spermatogenesis, with Cul4a promoting meiosis in primary spermatocytes and Cul4b participating in spermiogenesis in secondary spermatocytes. Deletion of both genes leads to severe germ cell defects, indicating functional redundancy between the two CUL4 proteins. Additionally, deleting Cul4b in germ and Sertoli cells affects spermatogenesis and BTB integrity, highlighting the involvement of CUL4B in maintaining germ cell development and BTB structure.
