Gene_info Gene_classmsp
Phenotype Cluster of five genes including msp-152 (transcribed).
[C.elegansII] NMK. Encodes MSP (16kD). Defines cluster of five genes including msp-152 (transcribed). [Ward et al. (1988); BA]

Structured_description Provisional_descriptionmsp-152 encodes a protein that belongs to a family of proteins called the Major Sperm Proteins (MSPs) that is conserved in nematodes; this family consists of closely related, small, basic proteins that make up 15% of sperm protein; this multigene family consists of over fifty genes, including many pseudogenes; MSPs are involved in both extracellular signaling and cytoskeletal functions during reproduction-MSP antagonizes Eph/ephrin signaling, in part, by binding VAB-1 Eph receptor tyrosine kinase on oocytes and sheath cells to promote oocyte maturation and MAPK activation; MSPs assemble into fibrous networks that drive movement of the C. elegans sperm; msp genes are expressed only in late primary spermatocytes.
