Úloha LINC komplexu v samčích germinálních buňkách

Kmoníčková, Věra

LINC (linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex is substantial for the overall function of any nuclear cell. It is a bridge between the cytoplasmic and nuclear structures which mediates transmission of mechanical forces generated on the cytoplasmic side. The main objective of this thesis is the function of distinct variants of the LINC complexes in mammalian male germinal cells throughout their development. The nuclear facing side of the LINC complex is a key player in homolog pairing and rapid chromosome movements during meiosis. The cytoplasmic facing side is necessary for the sperm head formation, proper acrosome and nucleus attachment. Evenly, another complex is essential for the head-to-tail coupling as without this one the sperm cells are found decapitated. If the subunits of the LINC complex are defective, males are afflicted with different kinds of infertilities, which nowadays is one of the important issues of our society. Many things about the role and structure of the LINC complex has been discovered due to modern technologies. These up to date findings are summarized and discussed on the following pages.
