This study identifies SPE-40/FAM187 as a conserved sperm protein essential for fertilization in C. elegans, showing that its mutation causes sub-fertility without affecting sperm production or motility.

This study identifies spe-21 as a palmitoyltransferase essential for spermatid activation and spermatozoon formation in C. elegans.

This paper identifies SPE-36, a secreted EGF-motif protein in C. elegans, as essential for sperm function during fertilization despite normal morphology and behavior.

The paper identifies SPE-51, a secreted protein in C. elegans, essential for sperm-egg fusion, and shows it localizes to the sperm surface.

The paper identifies 15 new genes involved in egg activation and early embryogenesis in Drosophila by analyzing phospho-regulated maternal proteins through RNAi knockdown.

This study identifies spe-43 as a gene required for spermiogenesis in C. elegans, showing that it is necessary for sperm activation in hermaphrodites but not in males.
