Interactions between mouse ZP2 glycoprotein and proacrosin; a mechanism for secondary binding of sperm to the zona pellucida during fertilization.

Howes E, Pascall JC, Engel W, Jones R

The mouse zona pellucida glycoprotein, mZP2, is thought to be the secondary receptor on eggs for retention of acrosome-reacted sperm during fertilization. Here, we present evidence that one of its complementary binding proteins on sperm is proacrosin/acrosin. mZP2 binds to proacrosin null sperm considerably less effectively than to wild-type sperm. Binding is mediated by a strong ionic interaction between polysulphate ... [more]
