The zona pellucida surrounding the pig oocyte
contains two Mr 55,000 glycoproteins, pZPB and
pZPC, which are orthologues of mouse zona proteins ZP1 and ZP3,
respectively. We previously reported that isolated boar sperm membrane
vesicles possess high affinity binding sites for partially purified
pZPB, but not pZPC. Interestingly, co-incubation experiments also
implicated pZPB-pZPC complexes as potential ligands. We now report that
when depleted of a minor pZPC contaminant by size exclusion
chromatography, pZPB lacks independent binding activity. In solid phase
binding assays employing immobilized boar sperm membranes, pZPB failed
to compete with biotin-(pZPB+pZPC) probe, and biotin-labeled pZPB
yielded negligible binding. However, when co-incubated with pZPC prior
to the binding assays, pZPB acted as a potent competitor, and
biotin-labeled pZPB exhibited high affinity, saturable binding. Binding
activity was attributed to pZPB-pZPC heterocomplexes, which were
detected in co-incubation mixtures by size exclusion chromatography and Western blot analysis. In the pig, therefore, sperm membranes possess a
zona-binding protein with high affinity sites for pZPB-pZPC heterocomplexes, but not free glycoprotein subunits. Consequently, associative interactions between zona molecules can contribute toward
both the assembly of the zona matrix and generation of ligands
important for sperm-zona interactions.
