Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of a specific transcript, ENSSSCT00000000120, in spermatogenesis of Baoshan pigs, using advanced sequencing techniques to analyze its expression and structure.
  • They found that the PICK1 protein, consisting of 417 amino acids, has conserved domains and is located on chromosome 5, with significant evolutionary conservation across mammals.
  • Additionally, the research suggests that PICK1 interacts with various proteins involved in critical pathways related to neurobiology and reproduction, highlighting its expression in the testis and bulbourethral gland, while also identifying potential regulatory relationships with certain miRNAs.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) not only plays a crucial role in regulating sperm maturation but also is pivotal in orchestrating the acrosome reaction. Here, we integrated single-molecule long-read and short-read sequencing to comprehensively examine expression patterns in adult Diannan small-ear pig (DSE) testes. We identified the most important transcript ENSSSCT00000039364 of , obtaining its full-length coding sequence (CDS) spanning 1263 bp.
