New insights into the molecular basis of mammalian sperm-egg membrane interactions.
Fertilization is the process by which two terminally differentiated cells, the sperm and the egg, merge to form a totipotent cell, the zygote. This review addresses one of the culminating steps in getting sperm and egg together: the cell-cell interactions that allow the two gametes to fuse and create the zygote. Based on cell biological and genetic studies, major players include CD9 on the egg ...
متن کاملMolecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers
Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...
متن کاملInvestigations into GABAb receptor surface stability and molecular interactions
Whereas most G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are monomeric in structure, y-Aminobutyric acid type B (GABAb) receptors are heterodimers of two seven transmembrane protein subunits, GABAB(i) and GABAB(2>. GABAb receptor function is dependent upon the co-expression of both these proteins which, when individually expressed, are devoid of receptor activity. Desensitisation of cell surface recept...
متن کاملThe molecular basis of sperm capacitation.
Testicular sperm that have undergone spermatogeneis and spermiogenesis appear mature from a morphological standpoint but have acquired neither progressive motility nor the ability to fertilize a metaphase Il-arrested egg. In many species, progressive motility and fertilization competence are acquired during epididyma! transit, but complete fertilization capacity in vivo is only gained upon resi...
متن کاملinvestigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology
today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
