Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Cyclin Y‐like 1 (CCNYL1) is emerging as an indispensable regulator in multiple biological systems. In the testis, CCNYL1 is highly expressed relative to its homolog Cyclin Y and is crucial for male fertility. Functional studies reveal that CCNYL1 directly interacts with cyclin‐dependent kinase 16 (CDK16), mutually stabilizing both proteins and enhancing CDK16’s kinase activity. Loss of CCNYL1 leads to defective spermatogenesis characterized by impaired sperm motility and morphological abnormalities – defects that are attributable in part to disrupted phosphorylation events necessary for proper sperm structure and function."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Beyond its role in the testis, CCNYL1 contributes to developmental processes through modulation of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling.
