title: Synthesis of mouse t complex proteins during haploid stages of spermatogenesis.
abstract: We have analyzed the expression, through spermiogenesis, of a series of testicular cell polypeptides encoded by genes within the mouse t complex. Two of these polypeptides, TCP-3 and TCP-7, are synthesized in a testes-specific manner with highest levels of expression during haploid stages of spermatogenesis. A third, TCP-1, is also expressed at highest levels in haploid cells, and expression of this polypeptide continues until the last residual body stage of spermiogenesis. The genes that encode these polypeptides have been correlated with the t phenotype of transmission ratio distortion.
