During fertilization in marine invertebrates, fusion between sperm and egg cell membranes occurs at the tip of the sperm acrosomal process. In abalone sperm the acrosomal process is coated with an...

Abalone eggs are contained within a rigid, elevated vitelline envelope through which the sperm must pass before reaching the egg cell membrane. Abalone spermatozoa possess an acrosomal protein called...
Monoclonal antibodies increase intracellular Ca2+ in sea urchin spermatozoa.
Trimmer, J S, Schackmann, R W, Vacquier, V D
Changes in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) spermatozoa were measured using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicators fura-2 and indo-1. The intracellular pH...
Egg surface glycoprotein receptor for sea urchin sperm bindin.
Bindin is an insoluble protein coating the sperm acrosome process and mediating the adhesion of sperm to sea urchin eggs. Milligrams of bindin have been isolated. Here we report the identification,...
Isolation of bindin: the protein responsible for adhesion of sperm to sea urchin eggs.
The insoluble granular material of the acrosome vesicle of sea urchin sperm has been isolated and shown to be a single 30,500 dalton protein for which the name "bindin" is proposed. The data...
