✦ Synopsis

Abstract

An actin‐like substance has been detected in the post‐acrosomal region of mammalian spermatozoa by indirect immunofluorescence. The antigen was localized using an anti‐actin antiserum from a patient with active chronic hepatitis. The actin‐like contractile proteins may be important in sperm function and sperm‐egg interactions during fertilization.

Boar seminal plasma was separated into five protein fractions (I-V) (> 100, 55, 45, 30, 5-15 kDa) by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-75 SF at pH 7.2. RP-HPLC of protein fractions I-V and N-terminal sequencing of their individual components revealed that the high-molecular-weight aggregates consiste

A morphometric analysis of mouse sperm and of their nuclei was undertaken to investigate their respective post-testicular maturation. Sperm were collected from the testis, caput and cauda epididymidis, and their corresponding nuclei were isolated. Results indicate that the post-testicular maturation

The results show that the patterns of protein synthesis are broadly similar in cumulus‐enclosed and denuded oocytes, but that as a consequence of remov

## Abstract The polymerization of globular actin to fibrous actin which occurs when sperm are activated, was not inhibited by cytochalasin‐B. The acrosomal filaments and its component actin filaments formed in the presence of cytochalasin‐B; and once formed, the actin filaments did not depolymerize
