reproductive system
• ruffled acrosome
• mice exhibit defects in acrosomal biogenesis, showing proacrosomal vesicles in the Golgi phase that remain atypical and separated
• proacrosomal vesicles fail to fuse into an entire vesicle in the cap phase
• sperm exhibit a loosened perinuclear theca structure where the acrosome is detached from the nuclear envelope
• spermatids exhibit defects in the fusion of proacrosomal vesicles that result in ruffled acrosomes with a loosened perinuclear theca formed in mature sperm
• mutant sperm fail to fertilize wild-type oocytes following intracytoplasmic sperm injection
• however, testicular size, testis-to-body weight ratio, sperm concentration, sperm viability and sperm motility are normal in males and testis and epididymis show that components in the seminiferous epithelium and sperm number in the caudal epididymis are normal
