A change in twist of actin provides the force for the extension of the acrosomal process in limulus sperm: the false-discharge reaction
One of the most spectacular motions is the generation of the acrosomal process in the limulus sperm. On contact with the egg, the sperm generates a 60-mum-long process that literally drills its way through the jelly surrounding the egg. This irresversible reaction takes only a few seconds. We sugges...
