Sperm concentration and fertilization rate in Bufo arenarum (Amphibia: Anura).
The influence of sperm concentration upon the fertilization rate of Bufo arenarum oocytes was determinated. The experimental results were analysed according to the theories of Rothschild and Swann, and Hultin and Hagström for Psammechinus miliaris. The experimental results agreed with the predictions of the latter theory. Since Bufo arenarum and Psammechinus miliaris oocytes differ in both size...
متن کاملA trypsin-like oviducal proteinase involved in Bufo arenarum fertilization.
When the jelly-less eggs removed from the most cephalic region of the oviduct (pars recta) of the toad Bufo arenarum were inseminated at a high sperm concentration, high frequencies of fertilization were obtained. On the other hand, control eggs removed from the pleuroperitoneal cavity (coelomic eggs)) were neither fertilized upon insemination under identical conditions, nor with the water extr...
متن کاملXenopus laevis sperm receptor gp69/64 glycoprotein is a homolog of the mammalian sperm receptor ZP2.
Little is known about sperm-binding proteins in the egg envelope of nonmammalian vertebrate species. We report here the molecular cloning and characterization of a recently identified sperm receptor (gp69/64) in the Xenopus laevis egg vitelline envelope. Our data indicate that the gp69 and gp64 glycoproteins are two glycoforms of the receptor and have the same number of N-linked oligosaccharide...
متن کاملThe envelopes of amphibian oocytes: physiological modifications in Bufo arenarum
A characterization of the Amphibian Bufo arenarum oocyte envelope is presented. It was made in different functional conditions of the oocyte: 1) when it has been released into the coelomic cavity during ovulation (surrounded by the coelomic envelope, (CE), 2) after it has passed through the oviduct and is deposed (surrounded by the viteline envelope, (VE), and 3) after oocyte activation (surrou...
