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 کاملThe cytoplasmic droplet of rat epididymal spermatozoa contains saccular elements with Golgi characteristics
The cytoplasmic droplet of epididymal spermatozoa is a small localized outpouching of cytoplasm of the tail of unknown significance. EM revealed flattened saccular elements as the near exclusive membranous component of the droplet. Light and electron microscopic immunolabeling for Golgi/TGN markers showed these saccules to be reactive for antibodies to TGN38, protein affinity-purified alpha 2,6...
متن کاملCollection and freezing of equine epididymal spermatozoa
The first report of a foal born after artificial insemination (AI) with frozen/thawed semen, more than fifty years ago, was the result of insemination with epididymal spermatozoa (Barker en Gandier, 1957). Ever since, reports have confirmed pregnancies and/ or births after AI with epididymal semen, which proves the fertilizing capacity of epididymal semen (Morris, 2002; Monteiro et al., 2011). ...
متن کاملPhosphopeptide Analysis of Rodent Epididymal Spermatozoa
Spermatozoa are quite unique amongst cell types. Although produced in the testis, both nuclear gene transcription and translation are switched off once the pre-cursor round cell begins to elongate and differentiate into what is morphologically recognized as a spermatozoon. However, the spermatozoon is very immature, having no ability for motility or egg recognition. Both of these events occur o...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of Testicular and Epididymal Spermatozoa
Problem: The sequential changes in the immunogenicity of spermatozoa in male reproductive tract and the effect of seminal vesicle secretions are long thought to act as central players in influencing immunological equilibrium in the male reproductive tract. Method of Study: Popliteal lymph nodes of mice were collected on the 8th day after sensitizing them with the testicular and epididymal sperm...
