Protein phosphatase PP1γ2 in sperm morphogenesis and epididymal initiation of sperm motility
The serine/threonine phosphatase (PP1) isoform PP1γ2, predominantly expressed in the testis, is a key enzyme in spermatozoa. High PP1γ2 catalytic activity holds motility in check in immature spermatozoa. Inhibition of PP1γ2 causes motility initiation in immature spermatozoa and motility stimulation and changes in flagellar beat parameters in mature spermatozoa. The PP1γ2 isoform is present in a...
متن کاملChanges in Carboxy Methylation and Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Protein Phosphatase PP2A Are Associated with Epididymal Sperm Maturation and Motility
Mammalian sperm contain the serine/threonine phosphatases PP1γ2 and PP2A. The role of sperm PP1γ2 is relatively well studied. Here we confirm the presence of PP2A in sperm and show that it undergoes marked changes in methylation (leucine 309), tyrosine phosphorylation (tyrosine 307) and catalytic activity during epididymal sperm maturation. Spermatozoa isolated from proximal caput, distal caput...
متن کاملDevelopment and initiation of sperm motility in the hamster epididymis.
Hamster spermatozoa were isolated from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis. They were observed in culture medium at 37 degrees C with a phase-contrast microscope and their motility recorded cinematographically. About 20 p. 100 of the caput epididymidis spermatozoa were motile and moved in a confined space with no forward progression. 30 p. 100 of the corpus epididymidis spermatozoa were mo...
متن کاملP-63: The Effect of Temperatures on Goat Epididymal Sperm Motility in Tissue Culture Media 199
Background: There is a general deterioration in sperm quality depending on time postmortem. Refrigeration of the epididymes down to around 5°C is the best strategy to lower this damage and there are many dissim ilarities between species, possibly due to differences on cold shock endurance of epididymal sperm. Our objective was to determine the effect of 5°C and 37°C on goat epididymal sperms mo...
متن کاملP-70: Effect of Xylose on Epididymal Sperm Motility in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Background: In mammalian spermatozoa, motility is one of the most important parameters for evaluating the quality of the semen. From a functional point of view, motility is strongly related to the spermatozoa’s ability to manage its energy status, Thus, modulation of energy status could be translated into significant changes in motility patterns. The aim of the present study was to evaluate xyl...
