Abstract

Acrosomal proteinase was found to be present in a highly organized distribution within the acrosomes of rabbit spermatozoa by cytochemistry. This distribution consists of at least six linear loops of evenly spaced proteinase granules, which run diagonally across the flat side of the sperm head in a criss‐crossing pattern with the two most anterior loops surrounding the region of the acrosome reaction. This is the first description of an organized distribution of enzymes within a lysosome‐like organelle.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an internal calcium ATPase inhibitor, TBQ, on human sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction during incubation in a calcium-depleted media. Sperm were isolated into and incubated for up to 6 hr in media depleted of Ca 2+ and two Ca 2+ -conta
