Regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in human sperm by a calcium/calmodulin-dependent mechanism: identification of A kinase anchor proteins as major substrates for tyrosine phosphorylation

Developmental Biology

Abstract

Signal transduction pathways regulate various aspects of mammalian sperm function. When human sperm were incubated in a medium supporting capacitation, proteins became tyrosine-phosphorylated in a time-dependent manner. This phosphorylation was inhibited by genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Phosphorylation was also reduced when sperm were incubated either in the presence of increasing concentrations of extracellular Ca2+ or in a medium containing the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. This Ca2+-induced dephosphorylation was calmodulin-dependent, suggesting that calcineurin was involved. In this regard, the calcineurin inhibitor deltamethrin inhibited the Ca2+ ionophore-induced dephosphorylation. A limited number of Mr 80,000-105,000 polypeptides were the most prominent phosphotyrosine-containing proteins present in human sperm. Unlike mouse sperm, which contains a tyrosine-phosphorylated isoform of hexokinase, a phosphotyrosine-containing hexokinase in human sperm was not detected. Most of the tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were Triton X-100-insoluble and were localized to the principal piece of the flagellum, the region where the cytoskeletal fibrous sheath is found. Prominent phosphotyrosine-containing proteins of Mr 82,0...Continue Reading
