✦ Synopsis

Plasmid DNA transferred into testes of silkworm larvae following in vivo gene transfer method was taken up by the sperm cells during spermatogenesis and the DNA was transferred to Go and subsequent progeny. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the internalization of the DNA taken up by the sperm. Specific classes of DNA binding proteins present in the sperm act as potential substrates for sperm/DNA interaction and internalization of DNA. Plasmid DNA injected into the testes were rescued from spermatheca, eggs (moths copulated with injected males), and progeny. The rescued plasmid DNA showed CAT activity to the same level as that of control plasmid.

Exogenous DNA interaction with rabbit sperm cells and its transfer into ova has been studied. It was shown that rabbit sperm cells are able to capture, hold, and transfer exogenous DNA to ova during fertilization. Sperm/DNA transfer leads to genetically transformed offspring.

At least three GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins), 28, 25, and 21 kDa, were found in the brain-corpus cardiacum-corpus allatum complex (BR-CC-CA) of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. They bound to GTP and GDP specifically among nucleotides tested, indicating that these proteins are small G-proteins. The 25

The length of the CAG repeat responsible for Huntington disease has been analysed by two PCR methods in blood and sperm DNA of 13 expansion carriers, two carriers of intermediate alleles, and four normal subjects. The two methods consistently confirmed size heterogeneity, more pronounced in sperm an

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can inhibit cell growth by directly interacting with cells, as well as by forming complexes with IGF-I and IGF-II that prevent their growth-promoting activity. The present study examines the mechanism of inhibition of DNA synthesis by IGFBP-3 in
