ABOUT THIS BOOK
· Covers histone modification and epigenetic regulation in both the
embryo and spermatogenesis
· Contains new research on tubulin modifications
· Equal space is given to gametes, oocytes, sperm and embryos
This book's aim is to increase the awareness of a great variety of posttranslational
modifications in the male and female reproductive system. Some of the most intriguing
reproductive strategies, mechanisms, and pathways involving PTM are discussed,
with an added angle of evolutionary conservation and diversity. The book also
chapters on sperm-egg binding, as well as on histone modification in both the
embryo and sperm. Chapters are also devoted to protein ubiquitination, the regulation
of sperm function during fertilization in mammals and tubulin modifications
in gametes and embryos. There are no other current books on posttranslational
protein modifications as they relate to reproduction, making this contribution
unique in the field. It is useful for both researchers and graduate students
alike.
