Abstract

Fertilization occurs after the completion of the sperm acrosome reaction, a secretory event that is triggered during gamete adhesion. ZP3, an egg zona pellucida glycoprotein, produces a sustained increase of the internal Ca 2+concentration in mouse sperm, leading to acrosome reactions. Here we show that the sustained Ca 2+concentration increase is due to the persistent activation of a Ca 2+influx mechanism during the late stages of ZP3 signal transduction. These cells also possess a Ca 2+store depletion–activated Ca 2+entry pathway that is open after treatment with thapsigargin. Thapsigargin and ZP3 activate the same Ca 2+permeation mechanism, as demonstrated by fluorescence quenching experiments and by channel antagonists. These studies show that ZP3 generates a sustained Ca 2+influx through a store depletion–operated pathway and that this drives the exocytotic acrosome reaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
