Disease relevance of ACRV1

  • A recombinant SP-10 fusion protein was produced in an Escherichia coli expression vector and used to generate a polyclonal antiserum [1].
  • These data demonstrate that the carrier-free T1-SP10 synthetic peptide construct can induce high titers of neutralizing anti-HIV antibody responses and PBMC proliferative responses to HIV in primates [2].
  • When combined in a trivalent inoculum, T1-SP10 peptides from HIV-1 isolates IIIB, MN, and RF evoked a high titered neutralizing antibody response to isolates IIIB, MN, and RF in goats and as well induced immune T cells to undergo blast transformation in the presence of peptides derived from gp120 of all three HIV isolates [3].
  • A monoclonal antibody to human SP-10 inhibits in vitro the binding of human sperm to hamster oolemma but not to human Zona pellucida [4].
  • Furthermore, we demonstrated that the oolemmal ligands of human SP-10 did not include beta(1) integrins, the most promising candidates for oocyte ligands involved in sperm-oolemma binding, based on the findings of a human sperm-cultured cell binding assay using F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells and F9-transformed cells lacking beta(1) integrins [4].
 

High impact information on ACRV1

  • Antibodies to both portions of suREJ3 localize exclusively to the plasma membrane over the acrosomal vesicle [5].
  • Sea urchin sperm contain a single exocytotic vesicle, the acrosomal vesicle, whose contents are exposed during the acrosome reaction [6].
  • We have previously described a synthetic peptide (T1-SP10) derived from two noncontiguous regions of HTLVIIIB envelope gp120 (T1, amino acids 428-443; SP10, amino acids 303-321) that induced type-specific anti-HIV neutralizing antibodies and T cell proliferative responses against native HIV gp120 when used as a carrier-free immunogen in goats [2].
  • Sera from all four animals given T1-SP10 in IFA or threonyl-MDP neutralized infection by HTLVIIIB and blocked virus-dependent cell fusion events [2].
  • In previous studies, we have used antisera raised to envelope (env)-gene-encoded synthetic peptides to identify a region of (HIV) glycoprotein (gp) 120 env protein designated SP10 that contains a type-specific neutralizing determinant [3].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ACRV1

  • The benzamide derivative N-[1-(7-tert-Butyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-2-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-3-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-4-nitro-benzamide (SP-10) reduces HIV-1 infectivity in vitro by modifying actin dynamics [7].
  • Fipronil provided delayed toxicity at 21-23 degrees C with SP10 values ranging from 270 to 960 min [8].
 

Biological context of ACRV1

  • Refinement of the localization of the gene for human intraacrosomal protein SP-10 (ACRV1) to the junction of bands q23-->q24 of chromosome 11 by nonisotopic in situ hybridization [9].
  • cDNAs coding for the intra-acrosomal protein SP-10 were cloned and characterized as a first step in understanding the expression of this antigen during spermatogenesis [1].
  • Interestingly, cDNA SP-10-10 has an internal 57-base pair (19 amino acids) in-frame deletion that is not present in SP-10-5, suggesting that alternative splicing generates more than one SP-10 mRNA [1].
  • Recombinant SP-10 is currently being tested as a contraceptive vaccine immunogen on the basis of its tissue specificity as well as functional assays indicating that anti-SP-10 antisera inhibit sperm-egg interactions [10].
  • Mapping and sequencing of the 8-kb SP-10 gene show that the SP-10 mRNA consists of exons of 119, 487, 113, and 390 bp with each exon coding for a distinct structural domain within the SP-10 protein [10].
 

Anatomical context of ACRV1

 

Associations of ACRV1 with chemical compounds

  • After induction of the acrosome reaction with the ionophore A23187, SP-10 remained displayed on the sperm head in association with the inner acrosomal membrane and equatorial segment [13].
  • In conclusion, our present data suggest that human SP-10, expressed on the equatorial region of acrosome-reacted sperm, indeed mediates sperm-oolemma binding in a beta(1) integrin-independent manner, but not sperm-zona binding [4].
  • The interaction of the human acrosomal protein SP-10 with the acrosomal membranes was analyzed by the ability of Triton X-114 (TX-114) and other agents to release SP-10 from the acrosome [14].
  • Sequential treatments of human sperm with various agents showed that repeated washes with TX-114 or 1.5 M NaCl had little or no effect on TX-114-resistant SP-10, whereas treatment with a chaotropic salt (150 mM sodium thiocyanate) and buffers at pH extremes (pH 2.0 and 10.0) completely released this pool of SP-10 from the acrosome [14].
  • Low-temperature post-embed labeling of thin sections with wheat germ agglutinin and monoclonal antibody J18/2 show concentrations of label within the acrosomal vesicle of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sperm, suggesting the presence of an intracellular storage site for the 210 kDa glycoprotein [15].
