Fertilization in C. elegans requires an intact C-terminal RING finger in sperm protein SPE-42
BACKGROUND: The C. elegans sperm protein SPE-42, a membrane protein of unknown structure and molecular function, is required for fertilization. Sperm from worms with spe-42 mutations appear normal but are unable to fertilize eggs. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of 8 conserved cysteine resid...
