Redox regulation of mammalian sperm capacitation
Capacitation is a series of morphological and metabolic changes necessary for the spermatozoon to achieve fertilizing ability. One of the earlier happenings during mammalian sperm capacitation is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will trigger and regulate a series of events including protein phosphorylation, in a time-dependent fashion. The identity of the sperm oxidase respo...
متن کاملBioenergetics of Mammalian Sperm Capacitation
After ejaculation, the mammalian male gamete must undergo the capacitation process, which is a prerequisite for egg fertilization. The bioenergetics of sperm capacitation is poorly understood despite its fundamental role in sustaining the biochemical and molecular events occurring during gamete activation. Glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) are the two major metabol...
متن کاملRegulation of mammalian sperm capacitation by endogenous molecules.
Capacitation in vitro in mammalian spermatozoa can be regulated by a number of first messengers, including fertilization promoting peptide, adenosine, calcitonin and angiotensin II, all of which are found in seminal plasma. The responses appear to involve several separate signal transduction pathways that have a common end point. These seminal-plasma derived first messengers can bind to specifi...
متن کاملIon channels, phosphorylation and mammalian sperm capacitation.
Sexually reproducing animals require an orchestrated communication between spermatozoa and the egg to generate a new individual. Capacitation, a maturational complex phenomenon that occurs in the female reproductive tract, renders spermatozoa capable of binding and fusing with the oocyte, and it is a requirement for mammalian fertilization. Capacitation encompasses plasma membrane reorganizatio...
متن کاملTyrosine phosphorylation of HSP-90 during mammalian sperm capacitation.
The process of sperm capacitation is correlated with activation of a signal transduction pathway leading to protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Whereas phosphotyrosine expression is an essential prerequisite for fertilization, the proteins that are phosphorylated during capacitation have not yet been identified. In the present study, we observed that a major target of this signaling pathway is th...
