 |
• hemizygous mutant males display sperm flagellum abnormalities
|
|
|
• the distal tip of mutant sperm flagella is sometimes curled or splayed apart in several fine filaments
|
|
|
• the size and integrity of mutant mitochondrial sheaths is reduced
• however, other cytoskeletal structures, the outer dense fibers and axoneme remain intact
• although a fibrous sheath anlagen is formed, the definitive fibrous sheath fails to develop fully, and proteins usually associated with the fibrous sheath are absent or substantially reduced in amount
|
|
|
• the principle piece of mutant sperm flagella is reduced in diameter relative to that of wild-type flagella
|
|
|
• mutant sperm flagella are sometimes curled at the tip
|
|
|
• although the midpiece length of mutant cauda sperm flagella is similar to that of wild-type mice, the length of the remaining flagellum is ~50% of wild-type sperm
• in addition, mutant caput sperm flagella are shorter than wild-type
|
|
|
• all hemizygous mutant males are infertile
|
|
|
• although GAPDS (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase-S) is present in the spermatids of mutant mice, it fails to accumulate in the flagellum or become incorporated into the fibrous sheath, suggesting that sperm flagellum glycolysis is disrupted
|
|
|
• less than 10% of mutant sperm are motile, exhibiting a sluggish flagellar motion of low amplitude with no forward progression
• notably, total number and viability of mutant epididymal sperm remain unaffected
• addition of 5 mM dibutyryl cAMP to mutant sperm at 4 hrs (but not at 10 min) after isolation increases the % of motile sperm to 34%; however, the rate and nature of flaggelar activity is similar to that of untreated mutant sperm
|
|
|
• unlike wild-type sperm where incubation in M16 nedium for 2 hrs results in hyperactivated motility, mutant sperm show no change in the pattern or incidence of motility
