- W2034331242 abstract "Gamete recognition has been studied extensively in the mouse. In this system, it is generally believed that sperm bind to a class of O-linked oligosaccharides on the zona pellucida glycoprotein, ZP3. The best characterized sperm receptor for ZP3 is β1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalT), which functions in a lectin-like capacity by binding to N-terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues on ZP3 oligosaccharides. Multivalent oligosaccharides on ZP3, as well as synthetic polymers terminating in N-acetylglucosamine aggregate GalT, leading to activation of a heterotrimeric G protein cascade and culminating in the acrosome reaction. Following fertilization, cortical granules release N-acetylglucosaminidase, which removes the binding site for sperm GalT and facilitates the zona block to polyspermic binding. Genetic manipulation of GalT expression has confirmed its function as a ZP3 receptor. Overexpressing GalT on sperm leads to increased binding of ZP3, increased G protein activation, and precocious acrosome reactions. In contrast, sperm from mice made null for GalT by homologous recombination are refractory to ZP3, in that they are unable to bind soluble ZP3 and fail to undergo the acrosome reaction in response to zona glycoproteins. Surprisingly, GalT null sperm still bind to the zona and achieve low rates of fertilization in vitro. This then suggests that sperm-egg binding involves receptor-ligand interactions independent of GalT and ZP3. The current model suggests that GalT functions as the ZP3 receptor that is responsible for inducing the acrosome reaction, whereas initial sperm-zona binding is dictated by other sperm surface receptors. Consistent with this, at least three other zona pellucida monosaccharides have been implicated in sperm binding, and novel sperm surface glycoproteins have been suggested to function in gamete binding. A large scaffolding protein has been identified that associates with the GalT cytoplasmic domain and may be responsible for orchestrating its signal transduction capacities that lead to the acrosome reaction." @default.
