Saperas N, Chiva M, Ribes E, Kasinsky H, Rosenberg E, Youson J, et al.
Biol Bull . 2017 Dec; 186(1):101-114. PMID: 29283299
We have isolated and characterized for the first time the chromosomal proteins from the nucleus of the sperm of a lancelet (amphioxus) Branchiostoma floridae (Hubbs, 1922) (Phylum Chordata: Subphylum Cephalochordata)...

Sanchez-Giraldo R, Acosta-Reyes F, Malarkey C, Saperas N, Churchill M, Campos J
Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr . 2015 Jul; 71(Pt 7):1423-32. PMID: 26143914
High-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) is an essential and ubiquitous DNA architectural factor that influences a myriad of cellular processes. HMGB1 contains two DNA-binding domains, box A and box B,...

Ribes E, Cheema M, Gonzalez-Romero R, Lloris D, Ausio J, Saperas N
Cell Tissue Res . 2015 Feb; 361(2):619-32. PMID: 25663275
We undertook an ultrastructural study of the spermiogenesis of the lanternfish Lampanyctus crocodilus (Myctophiformes, Myctophidae) with special emphasis on the condensation of chromatin and the biochemical characterisation of its sperm...

Chiva M, Saperas N, Ribes E
Tissue Cell . 2011 Sep; 43(6):367-76. PMID: 21937068
In this paper we review and analyze the chromatin condensation pattern during spermiogenesis in several species of mollusks. Previously, we had described the nuclear protein transitions during spermiogenesis in these...

Saperas N, Chiva M, Aligu , Itoh T, Katagiri C, Subirana J, et al.
Arch Biochem Biophys . 1999 Jan; 361(1):135-41. PMID: 9882438
We compare the physicochemical and functional characteristics of nucleoplasmin obtained from Xenopus laevis oocytes and by bacterial overexpression of a plasmid containing the nucleoplasmin gene. The comparison shows that, while...

Buesa C, Del Valle L, Saperas N, Goethals M, Lloris D, Chiva M
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol . 1998 Apr; 119(1):145-9. PMID: 9530815
We have studied the protamine scombrine alpha from the mackerel Scomber scombrus. Scombrine alpha is found phosphorylated in spermatid nuclei, but not in nuclei of ripe sperm. It is a...

Saperas N, Chiva M, Pfeiffer D, Kasinsky H, Ausio J
J Mol Evol . 1997 Apr; 44(4):422-31. PMID: 9089082
We have characterized for the first time SNBPs from the hagfish Eptatratus stouti (Myxini) and the lamprey Lampetra tridentatus (Cephalaspidomorphi) and have found that histones are the major protein components...

Saperas N, Buesa C, Abian J, Vandekerckhove J, Kasinsky H, Chiva M
J Mol Evol . 1996 Nov; 43(5):528-35. PMID: 8875866
We have determined the primary structure of protamine R3 from ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei), a species belonging to the order Chimaeriformes (an old phylogenetic line among the chondrichthyes). Protamine R3 contains...

Saperas N, Ausio J, Lloris D, Chiva M
J Mol Evol . 1994 Sep; 39(3):282-95. PMID: 7932790
Fish protamines are highly specialized molecules which are responsible for chromatin condensation during the last stages of spermatogenesis (spermiogenesis). However, not all fish contain protamines in their sperm nuclei; rather,...

Saperas N, Chiva M, Bols N, Kulak D, Kasinsky H
Biol Bull . 1993 Oct; 185(2):186-196. PMID: 27768440
Seven basic proteins can be isolated from sperm nuclei of the holocephalan ratfish Hydrolagus colliei. Two of these proteins (R3 and m0) are devoid of cysteine, whereas five of them...
