Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The molecular mechanism of acrosome biogenesis and nuclear shaping still remain unknown up to date. I have been working on functions of kinesin related motor proteins during spermatogenesis, especially the molecular mechanism of acrosome formation and nucleus shaping. We have found kinesin related motor protein KIFC1 participates in acrosome formation. I am also very interested in sperm diversity of marine animals, eapecially that of crustaceans and mollusks. My future plan is to do further investigation of functions of different motor proteins (both plus- and minus-ended motor proteins)during mammalian and/or zebra fish spermatogenesis. About the sperm diversity, I will focus on molecular mechanisms of acrosome formation as well as nucleus shaping. Comparative studies of sperm will be made on those of marine crustaceans and mollusks. A potential evolutionary route may be found depends on the molecular mechanism of spermatogenesis.
