TL;DR: Data reveal that at least three chromatin-binding proteins act together in chromatin reorganization to compact the paternal chromatin, in agreement with independent loading of these factors into sperm chromatin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the transition-protein-like protein Tpl94D contains an HMG-box domain and is expressed during chromatin reorganization, which is associated with a remarkable reorganization of the chromatin in post-meiotic stages.

TL;DR: Comparing the transcriptomes of tbrd-1 mutant testes and wild-type testes reveals for the first time the existence of single bromodomain BET proteins in animals, as well as evidence for a complex containing tBRDs and tTAFs that regulates transcription of a subset of genes with relevance for spermiogenesis.

TL;DR: The catalogue of proteins of the different stages of testis development in D. melanogaster will pave the road for future analyses of spermatogenesis, and analysed the stage-specific synthesis and importance for male fertility of a number of uncharacterized proteins.

TL;DR: This study uncovers three distinct dCoREST complexes that function in a lineage-restricted fashion to repress specific sets of genes thereby maintaining cell-type-specific gene expression programmes.
