It has also been implicated as a potential cause of and diagnostic tool in asthenozoospermic human males. CABYR is known to be localized to the fibrous sheath, an accessory structure in the flagellar principal piece. Utilizing the CRISPR–Cas9 technology, we have knocked out this gene in mice to understand its role in male fertility. Cabyr-knockout male mice showed severe subfertility with a defect in sperm motility as well as a significant disorganization in the fibrous sheath. Further, abnormal configuration of doublet microtubules was observed in the Cabyr-knockout spermatozoa, suggesting that the fibrous sheath is important for the correct organization of the axoneme. Our results show that it is the role of CABYR in the formation of the fibrous sheath that is essential for male fertility.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:26 AEDT ]]> CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing reveals 30 testis-enriched genes dispensable for male fertility in mice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46955 Mon 12 Dec 2022 09:05:31 AEDT ]]>
