Purified mouse egg zona pellucida glycoproteins polymerize into homomeric fibrils under non‐denaturing conditions
8 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The mouse egg's zona pellucida (ZP) is composed of three glycoproteins, called ZP1, ZP2, and ZP3, that migrate as relatively broad, single bands on SDS-PAGE. The glycoproteins are organized within the ZP as a network of long interconnected fibrils that exhibit a structural periodicity. Here, ZP2 and ZP3 were purified by HPLC to homogeneity and analyzed by Blue Native- (BN-) PAGE and transmission electron...
