Fig. 6: Individualization process is defected in Pif1A1 mutant.

From: Drosophila Pif1A is essential for spermatogenesis and is the homolog of human CCDC157, a gene associated with idiopathic NOA

a, aʹʹ and Pif1A1 testes (b, bʹʹ). (a, b); DAPI, (aʹ, bʹ); GFP (representing Protamine B). The lower right corner panes in a, aʹ are enlargement diagrams of the yellow arrowheads and in b, bʹ are yellow arrows. c, cʹʹʹ Nuclei of wild-type animals, d, dʹʹʹ nuclei of Pif1A1 mutants. c, d Young elongating nuclei. cʹ, dʹ Early canoe stage nuclei. cʹʹ, dʹʹ Late canoe stage nuclei. cʹʹʹ Nuclei after individualization. dʹʹʹ Late canoe stage nuclei
