Divergent evolution of vitamin B9 binding underlies Juno-mediated adhesion of mammalian gametes
The interaction between egg and sperm is the first necessary step of fertilization in all sexually reproducing organisms. A decade-long search for a protein pair mediating this event in mammals culminated in the identification of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein Juno as t...
