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.

Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins Involved in Gamete Interaction in the Pig
Juan J. Calvete,Libia Sanz,E. Töpfer-Petersen +2 more
- 01 Jan 1992
TL;DR: Inhibition experiments with a variety of polysaccharides show that mannose and fucose contain egg surface components of the marine brown alga Fucus, which interact with complementary carbohydrate-binding structures on the sperm cell surface (Bolwell et al. 1979).

Signal transduction processes leading to acrosomal exocytosis in mammalian spermatozoa.
Gregory S. Kopf,Mary W. Wilde +1 more
TL;DR: Many components of intercellular signaling involved in species-specific sperm binding to the egg's extracellular matrix, the zona pellucida, and the induction of acrosomal exocytosis, have properties similar to inter cellular signaling mechanisms controlling somatic cell function.

Identification of Porcine Oocyte 55 kDa α and β Proteins within the Zona Pellucida Glycoprotein Families Indicates that Oocyte Sperm Receptor Activity is Associated with Different Zona Pellucida Proteins in Different Mammalian Species
TL;DR: A simple one-step HPLC procedure for the isolation of the alpha- and beta-components of the 55 kDa pZP proteins after enzymatic partial deglycosylation implies that the sperm receptor activity in diverse mammalian species reside on oligosaccharide chains attached to nonhomologous zona pellucida glycoproteins.

Mechanisms of Signal Transduction in Mouse Spermatozoa
TL;DR: Experiments demonstrate a potential intermediary role for the mouse sperm Gi-like protein in the acrosome reaction induced by ZP3 and suggest that the regulation of sperm function might have control elements that are similar to ligand:receptor:G-protein:second messenger systems common to many somatic cells.

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.
