Abstract
In this article, Lei Li and colleagues show that ablation of REGγ, a proteasome activator, resulted in male subfertility, partially because of a decreased number of PLZF+ spermatogonia and spermatocytes. Mechanistically, REGγ loss significantly increased the abundance of p53 protein, and transcriptionally represses PLZF expression. Allelic p53 haplodeficiency partially rescued the defects in spermatogenesis observed in REGγ-deficient mice.
