Architecture of the Vertebrate Egg Coat and Structural Basis of the ZP2 Block to Polyspermy

S. Nishio, C. Emori, B. Wiseman, D. Fahrenkamp, E. Dioguardi, S. Zamora-Caballero, M. Bokhove, L. Han, A. Stsiapanava, Y. Lu, M. Kodani, R. E. Bainbridge, K. M. Komondor, A. E. Carlson, M. Landreh, , L. Jovine

This study investigates how cleavage of ZP2 in the egg zona pellucida leads to oligomerization and structural changes that block polyspermy.

Xenopus laevis lack the critical sperm factor PLCζ

R. E. Bainbridge, J. C. Rosenbaum, P. Sau, A. E. Carlson

This study investigates whether Xenopus laevis sperm express an unannotated PLCZ1 ortholog, finding none and suggesting PLCZ1 may have been lost in the Xenopus lineage.

TMEM16A activation for the fast block to polyspermy in the African clawed frog does not require conventional activation of egg PLCs

K. M. Komondor, R. E. Bainbridge, K. G. Sharp, J. C. Rosenbaum, A. E. Carlson

This study investigates the mechanism by which fertilization activates PLC in Xenopus laevis eggs to trigger the fast block to polyspermy, finding no effect from inhibitors of PLCγ or Gq/11 pathways.

Zinc protection of fertilized eggs is an ancient feature of sexual reproduction in animals

K. L. Wozniak, R. E. Bainbridge, D. W. Summerville, M. Tembo, W. A. Phelps, M. L. Sauer, B. W. Wisner, M. E. Caekalski, S. Pasumarthy, M. L. Hanson, M. B. Linderman, C. H. Luu, M. E. Boehm, S. M. Sanders, K. M. Buckley, , A. E. Carlson

The paper shows that zinc release by eggs to block polyspermy is an ancient reproductive strategy across multiple animal phyla.
