Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Osbp1 mutant seminal vesicles are devoid of mature sperm, and sperm debris is present in the basal region of the testis. Individualised elongated spermatids do not display a smooth appearance as in wild-type but show numerous blebs of unremoved cytoplasm along their length. The individualisation complex is mildly disorganised, displaying irregular shapes with few triangular cone structures. Many spermatids are enclosed within one membrane, rather than each spermatid in a single membrane as in wild-type.

Osbp1 mutant males raised on regular medium are sterile. Osbp1 mutants raised on medium supplemented with cholesterol recover some fertility. The mildly disorganised individualisation complexes observed in these animals is also rescued by additional sterols.
