- W1991425854 abstract "From examination of inherited patterns of ovulation rate in sheep, several breeds have been identified with point mutations in two growth factor genes (BMP15 and GDF9) and a related receptor (ALK6) that are expressed in oocytes. Five different point mutations have been identified in the BMP15 gene, one in GDF9 and one in ALK6. Animals heterozygous for these mutations or heterozygous for two of these mutations or homozygous for the ALK6 mutation have higher ovulation rates (i.e. +0.6–10) than their wild-type contemporaries. Animals homozygous for the BMP15 or GDF9 mutations are sterile due to arrested follicular development from the primary stage of growth. The BMP15 and GDF9 mutations are thought to result in reduced levels of mature protein or altered binding to cell-surface receptors. In sheep, GDF9 mRNA is present in germ cells before and after ovarian follicular formation as well as throughout follicular growth, whereas BMP15 mRNA is found in oocytes only from the primary stage of growth. Also ALK6 together with related cell-surface receptors such as ALK5 and BMPRII mRNA are present in oocytes at most, if not all, stages of follicular growth. Both GDF9 and BMP15 proteins are present in follicular fluid indicating that they are secreted products. Immunisation of sheep with GDF9 or BMP15 peptides shows that both growth factors are essential for follicular development, ovulation and/or corpus luteum formation. In animals with the ALK6 mutation, ovarian follicles undergo precocious maturation leading to three to seven follicles ovulating at smaller diameters without any increase above wild-types in the ovarian secretions of steroid or inhibin. One important consequence of the ALK6 mutation appears to be a decreased ability of some BMPs to inhibit differentiation of follicular cells. Current findings in sheep suggest that BMP15, GDF9 and ALK6 are targets for new methods of fertility regulation in some mammals." @default.
