Analysis of loss of adhesive function in sperm lacking cyritestin or fertilin beta

Developmental Biology

Abstract

We produced mice lacking the sperm surface protein cyritestin (ADAM 3) and found mutant males are infertile. Similar to fertilin beta (ADAM 2) null sperm (C. Cho et al., 1998, Science 281, 1857-1859), cyritestin null sperm are drastically deficient in adhesion to the egg zona pellucida (0.3% of wild type) and to the egg plasma membrane (9% of wild type). Thus sperm from male mice with a gene deletion of either ADAM have a loss of adhesive function in at least two steps of fertilization. We found deletion of either ADAM gene resulted in the loss of multiple gene products. This loss of multiple gene products (sperm membrane proteins) appears to result from a novel, developmental mechanism during sperm differentiation. Because the altered sperm protein expression must be responsible for the fertilization defects, our data suggest new models for the molecular basis of the affected steps in fertilization.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
