Mp3g14390	MpPRM	experimental subject	MpPRM protamine-like genes are the primary subject, identified from the male gametogenesis transcriptome and characterized by ETD mass spectrometry. The paper shows three H1-related protamine-like precursors are post-translationally cleaved and C-terminally di-aminopropanelated to form mature sperm protamines, expressed mainly in antheridiophores.
