Proteomic changes in mammalian spermatozoa during epididymal maturation.
Epididymal maturation is associated with the activation of a cAMP-induced tyrosine phosphorylation cascade, which is ultimately associated with the expression of capacitation-dependent sperm functions, such as hyperactivated movement and acrosomal exocytosis. As spermatozoa progress through the epididymis they first acquire the capacity to phosphorylate tyrosine on targets on the principal piec...
متن کاملNonpathological Extracellular Amyloid Is Present during Normal Epididymal Sperm Maturation
Amyloids are aggregated proteins characterized by a specific cross-β-sheet structure and are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. Recently, however, several nonpathological amyloids have been found in intracellular organelles of normal mammalian tissues suggesting that amyloid may also carry out biological functions. We previously have shown that t...
متن کاملTesticular versus epididymal spermatozoa in intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment cycles.
BACKGROUND Normal fertilization and ongoing pregnancy can be achieved using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), even with severely immature spermatozoa. However, the published literature documents conflicting results as to the outcome of ICSI. METHODS Surgical extraction of spermatozoa in 111 ICSI treatment cycles performed over five years at the Assisted Conception Unit (ACU), Universit...
متن کاملChanges in calmodulin level and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity during epididymal maturation of ram spermatozoa.
Calmodulin concentration and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity were simultaneously determined on ram spermatozoa collected by cannulation of successive segments of the epididymal tubule. Epididymal transit was characterized on one hand by an overall decrease in the calmodulin level and on the other by a dramatic rise in the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. In contrast to the calmodu...
متن کاملThiol changes during epididymal maturation: a link to flagellar angulation in mouse spermatozoa?
Caput epididymal wild-type spermatozoa and cauda epididymal spermatozoa from mice null for the adenylyl cyclase Adcy10 gene are immotile unless stimulated by a membrane-permeant cyclic AMP analogue. Both types of spermatozoa exhibit flagellar angulation where the head folds back under these conditions. As sperm proteins undergo oxidation of sulfhydryl groups and the flagellum becomes more stabl...
