Molecular analysis of cDNA coding for ZP3, a sperm binding protein of the mouse zona pellucida.
192
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ZP3 transcripts are accumulated in oocytes where their expression is developmentally regulated during oogenesis and the mRNA is 1317 nt long with an estimated poly(A) tail of 200-300 nt.

Identification of choriogenin cis-regulatory elements and production of estrogen-inducible, liver-specific transgenic Medaka
TL;DR: Choriogenins (chg-H, chg-L) are precursor proteins of egg envelope of medaka and synthesized in the spawning female liver in response to estrogen, and this transgenic medaka may be useful as one of the test animals for detecting environmental estrogenic steroids.

Cloning, sequencing and oocyte-specific expression of the marmoset sperm receptor protein, ZP3.
TL;DR: The primary amino acid structure of marmoset ZP3 is determined and the expression of marZP3 mRNA within the ovary is examined, showing conservation of many structural features including the N-linked glycosylation sites, location and number of cysteine and proline residues and hydrophobicity profile.

Gamete interactions during mammalian fertilization
TL;DR: Complementary adhesion molecules located on the surface of mouse eggs and sperm support species-specific interactions between sperm and eggs that lead to gamete fusion (fertilization) and modification of these molecules shortly aftergamete fusion assists in prevention of polyspermic fertilization.

Effectiveness of zona pellucida protein ZPB as an immunocontraceptive antigen.
ML Martinez,JD Harris +1 more
TL;DR: This is the first study in which a recombinant ZP protein has consistently induced infertility in a primate without permanent disruption of the normal menstrual cycle.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
A simple method for displaying the hydropathic character of a protein
Jack Kyte,Russell F. Doolittle +1 more
TL;DR: A computer program that progressively evaluates the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a protein along its amino acid sequence has been devised and its simplicity and its graphic nature make it a very useful tool for the evaluation of protein structures.

Allan M. Maxam,Walter Gilbert +1 more
TL;DR: The chapter presents techniques for producing discrete DNA fragments, end-labeling DNA, segregating end- labeled fragments, extracting DNA from gels, and the protocols for partially cleaving it at specific bases using the chemical reactions.

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented and shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs.
