The postacrosomal assembly of sperm head protein, PAWP, is independent of acrosome formation and dependent on microtubular manchette transport.
PAWP (postacrosomal sheath WW domain-binding protein) exclusively resides in the postacrosomal sheath (PAS) of the sperm perinuclear theca (PT). Because of the importance of this region in initiating oocyte activation during mammalian fertilization [Sutovsky, P., Manandhar, G., Wu, A., Oko, R., 2003...
