“…During the spermatogenesis process and sperm maturation in the epididymis and post-ejaculatory capacitation in the female reproductive tract, post-translational modifications (PTM) are critical for the functionality of spermatozoa [208][209][210]. PTMs that are formed by glycosylation, methylation, or phosphorylation are able to change the functional properties of spermatozoa and seminal plasma proteins [211].…”

“…Indeed, histones are first replaced with transition proteins and then with Sperm Nuclear Basic Proteins (SNBPs) during the condensation phase of spermatid nuclei. SNBPs include testis specific histone variants but also non-histone proteins such as protamine-like proteins and protamines (Caron et al, 2005;Govin et al, 2004;Lewis et al, 2003;Poccia and Collas, 1996). The sperm chromatin structure is highly diverse in animals, even between species of the same animal group (Frehlick et al, 2006).…”

“…During spermiogenesis, histone proteins are replaced sequentially by transition proteins (TPs) and protamines (Brewer et al, 2002). The histone-TP/protamine exchange, incorporation of testis-specific histone variants, and stage-specific histone modifications lead to a highly compact chromatin structure in the sperm (Braun, 1998;Caron et al, 2005). This chromatin structure may repress transcription (SassoneCorsi, 2002) and is therefore postulated to be relevant with regard to transcription silencing.…”
