Extracellular domin of YWK-II, interacts with rat Mullerian-inhibiting substance.
Introduction
Sperm membrane proteins probably play an important role
in fertilization. A human sperm membrane protein, YWK-II
component, has been isolated and characterized, and the
coding gene identified (Yan et al., 1990; Huang et al.,
2000). The open reading frame consists of 763 codons
encoding a polypeptide characteristic of a single trans-
membrane protein, established by hydropathicity analysis.
The transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the YWK-
II component and the βA4-amyloid precursor protein (APP)
of Alzheimer disease have 70% similarity. The similarity is
higher with the amyloid precursor homologues, APPH/
APLP2 (Yan et al., 1990; Sprecher et al., 1993). The YWK-II
protein and APP can be delineated into three domains:
extracellular, hydrophobic transmembrane and cytoplas-
mic. The extracellular domains of these two proteins are
distinctly different. Three peptide segments (YAL-198, YAL-
201 and YAL-212) corresponding to a section of the
extracellular domain of YWK-II were synthesized as a
multiple antigen peptide (MAP) and administered to female
rats to assess whether anti-YWK-II antibodies may be a
cause of infertility. The YAL-198 induced infertility in seven
out of 12 female rats and subfertility in two animals. Sera
obtained from infertile rats immunized with YAL-198
contained higher titres of antibodies compared with those
obtained from fertile animals, indicating that anti-YWK-II
antibodies possess antifertility activity (Vanage et al., 1992).
A study of the molecular properties of YWK-II com-
ponent revealed that the cytoplasmic domain binds
specifically Go, a GTP-binding protein (Huang et al., 2000),
indicating that the YWK-II component can couple with
G proteins and may activate the signal transduction system
of responsive cells. The two-hybrid system relies on the
modulating property of eukaryotic site-specific transcrip-
tional activators to generate signals after the interaction of a
protein fused to a DNA-binding domain with another
