Karyopherin α2 is a maternal effect gene required for early embryonic development and female fertility in mice

Franziska Rother, Reinhard Depping, Elena Popova, Stefanie Hügel, Ariane Heiler, Enno Hartmann, Michael Bäder

This study shows that KPNA2 deficiency in mice causes embryonic arrest at the 2-cell stage and disrupts genome activation and nuclear translocation of Nucleoplasmin 2.

Importin α7 deficiency causes infertility in male mice by disrupting spermatogenesis

Na Liu, Fatimunnisa Qadri, Hauke S. Busch, Stefanie Hügel, Gabin Sihn, Ilya A. Chuykin, Enno Hartmann, Michael Bäder, Franziska Rother

This study shows that importin α7 deficiency in male mice causes infertility by disrupting spermatogenesis through impaired Sertoli cell function and defects in spermiogenesis.
