The majority of elongated spermatids also displayed a detached acrosome (Fig 5B), indicating that KATNAL2, or KATNAL2-regulated structures, have a role in the deposition of ‘adhesive components’ into the acroplaxome. The acroplaxome is an electron dense structure that overlies the anterior pole of the sperm nucleus and is thought to play a pivotal role in acrosome formation and attachment. These data strongly suggest that KATNAL2 is required for multiple aspects of male haploid germ cell development, and depending on the cellular context, KATNAL2 may act in either a KATNB1-dependent (manchette function) and KATNB1-independent manner (acrosome and axoneme development). |
