AbstractSpermatozoa have to swim through the oviduct and the cumulus oophorus before fertilization in vivo. In the oviduct, spermatozoa are exposed to glycodelin-A and -F that inhibit spermatozoa-zona pellucida binding. In this study, we determined whether these glycodelins would inhibit fertilization. The data showed that the spermatozoa without previous exposure to glycodelin-A and -F acquired glycodelin immunoreactivity during their passage through the cumulus oophorus. On the other hand, when glycodelin-A or -F-pretreated spermatozoa were exposed to the cumulus oophorus, the zona pellucida binding inhibitory activity of glycodelin-A and -F was not only removed, but the spermatozoa acquired enhanced zona pellucida binding ability. These actions of the cumulus oophorus were due to the presence of a cumulus isoform of glycodelin, designated as glycodelin-C. The cumulus cells could convert exogenous glycodelin-A and -F to glycodelin-C, which was then released into the surrounding medium. The protein core of glycodelin-C was identical to that in other glycodelin isoforms, as demonstrated by mass spectrum, peptide mapping, and affinity to anti-glycodelin antibody recognizing the protein core of glycodelin. In addition to having a smaller size and a higher isoelectric point, glycodelin-C also had lectin binding properties different from other isoforms. Glycodelin-C stimulated spermatozoazona pellucida binding in a dose-dependent manner, and it effectively displaced sperm-bound glycodelin-A and -F. In conclusion, the cumulus cells transform glycodelin-A and -F to glycodelin-C, which in turn removes the spermatozoazona binding inhibitory glycodelin isoforms and enhances the zona binding capacity of spermatozoa passing through the cumulus oophorus. © 2007 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
