Abstract
Major sperm protein, a cytoskeletal molecule required for the amoeboid motility of sperm in Caenorhabditis elegans, also functions as a signaling molecule that regulates the rates of meiotic maturation and ovulation. Recent work has begun to uncover new genes required for the response to this signal in both somatic and germ line cells.
