Unlocking sperm chromatin at fertilization requires a dedicated egg thioredoxin in Drosophila
In many animals, sperm DNA compaction is achieved by disulfide bonds between the sperm nuclear proteins that replace the histones. Here, the authors provide evidence that Drosophilamaternal thioredoxin Deadhead is required to unlock the sperm chromatin upon fertilization.
