Research over the past years in vertebrates has shed new light on conserved and divergent molecular regulators that mediate the formation of the fertilization synapse, the close apposition of the two plasma membranes before fusion. Here, we review the known proteins that are required for sperm–egg interaction in mammals and fish from a phylogenetic perspective. While some sperm factors are only conserved in vertebrates and share phylogenetic and structural features, others have a longer evolutionary history. In contrast, the egg factors have changed even within vertebrates despite recognizing the preserved sperm machinery. Future functional work on these factors will be essential to understand the fusion mechanism of vertebrate sperm and egg.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50606,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Genetics & Development","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102352"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143912173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hope for ultimate regeneration was made even more tangible by the observations that partial reprogramming by the Yamanaka factors reverses many hallmarks of aging [76], even though the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We intend to revisit the milestones in the evolving understanding of cell fate plasticity and glean molecular insights from an unusual somatic cell state, the privileged cell state that reprograms in a manner defying the stochastic model. We synthesize our view of the molecular underpinning of cell fate plasticity, from which we speculate how to harness it for regeneration and rejuvenation.

Our vast knowledge of telomeres comes almost entirely from studies of healthy and diseased somatic cells.

Here, we review this growing body of work on telomere ‘paternal effects’, wherein zygotic telomere integrity is determined not by the genotype of the zygote but instead by the genotype of the father. Direct inheritance of sperm-specific proteins establishes paternal telomere epigenetic identity, while direct inheritance of sperm telomere length contributes to telomere length inheritance.

In these cases, removing age-related organellar defects in precursor cells is crucial for successful reproduction. The single-celled organism <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> shares striking similarities with more complex organisms: like metazoan cells, yeast accumulate organelle damage with age, yet can still produce damage-free gametes with a reset lifespan. Recent studies show that organelles undergo significant reorganization during yeast gametogenesis, and similar remodeling occurs in metazoans, suggesting common strategies for maintaining gamete quality.
