Legacy_informationhc76 : hermaphrodites produce nonfunctional sperm fertilization defective; males are fertile. Similar phenotype in hc76/Df. Self-fertility <1% (16x or 25x). ES2 (adult). NA1.
Virgin hermaphrodites are self-sterile and lay many oocytes bu no eggs.
[C.elegansII] hc76 : hermaphrodites produce nonfunctional sperm fertilization defective; males are fertile. Similar phenotype in hc76/Df. Spermatids activated by ionophores; arrest as spiky intermediates after protease activation. Self-fertility <1% (16C or 25C). ES2 (adult). NA1. Cloned: transcript only in spermatogenic germ line, predicted protein novel? [L'Hernault et al. 1988; Shakes and Ward 1989a; BA]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionspe-12 encodes a novel protein with a single transmembrane domain; spe-12 is required for hermaphrodite spermatogenesis or sperm activation but not for male-derived sperm activation (sperm activation is the morphogenesis of a round non-motile spermatid to an amoeboid crawling sperm); however, mutant hermaphrodite spe-12 spermatids can transactivate and form functional sperm during mating with males; however this transativation is not as efficient as wild-type indicating that spe-12 has a supplementary, non-essential role in mating-induced spermatid activation; spe-12 is expressed in the germline and is localized to the spermatid plasma membrane; genetic and phenotypic evidence suggests that spe-12 acts in a common pathway with spe-8, spe-19, spe-27 and spe-29.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001166
