Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and to a wide variety of tumour cells. Present only in hominids, SPANX-A/D is exclusively expressed in post-meiotic spermatids and mature spermatozoa. However, the biological role of the protein family in human spermatozoa is largely unknown. Combining proteomics and molecular approaches, the present work describes the presence of all isoforms of SPANX-A/D in human spermatozoa and novel phosphorylation sites of this protein family. In addition, we identify 307 potential SPANX-A/D interactors related to nuclear envelop, chromatin organisation, metabolism and cilia movement. Specifically, SPANX-A/D interacts with fumarate hydratase and colocalises with both fumarate hydratase and Tektin 1 proteins, involved in meeting energy demands for sperm motility, and with nuclear pore complex nucleoporins. We provide insights into the molecular features of sperm physiology describing for the first time a multifunctional role of SPANX-A/D protein family in nuclear envelope, sperm movement and metabolism, considered key functions for human spermatozoa. SPANX-A/D family members, therefore, might be promising targets for sperm fertility management.

SPANX-A / D蛋白亚家族在人类精子的核组织,代谢和鞭毛运动中起关键作用。

与X染色体(SPANX)基因核相关的人类精子蛋白编码一个蛋白家族(SPANX-A,-B,-C和-D),其表达仅限于正常组织中的睾丸和精子。多种肿瘤细胞。SPANX-A / D仅存在于原始人中,仅在减数分裂后的精子和成熟的精子中表达。然而,蛋白质家族在人类精子中的生物学作用在很大程度上是未知的。结合蛋白质组学和分子方法,本工作描述了人类精子中SPANX-A / D所有同工型的存在以及该蛋白家族的新的磷酸化位点。此外,我们确定了与核包膜,染色质组织,新陈代谢和纤毛运动有关的307个潜在SPANX-A / D相互作用子。特别,SPANX-A / D与富马酸水合酶相互作用,并与富马酸水合酶和Tektin 1蛋白共定位,参与满足精子活力的能量需求以及与核孔复合物核孔蛋白的结合。我们提供关于精子生理学分子特征的见解,首次描述了SPANX-A / D蛋白家族在核被膜,精子运动和代谢中的多功能作用,被认为是人类精子的关键功能。因此,SPANX-A / D家庭成员可能是精子育性管理的有希望的目标。我们提供关于精子生理学分子特征的见解,首次描述了SPANX-A / D蛋白家族在核被膜,精子运动和代谢中的多功能作用,被认为是人类精子的关键功能。因此,SPANX-A / D家庭成员可能是精子育性管理的有希望的目标。我们提供关于精子生理学分子特征的见解,首次描述了SPANX-A / D蛋白家族在核被膜,精子运动和代谢中的多功能作用,被认为是人类精子的关键功能。因此,SPANX-A / D家庭成员可能是精子育性管理的有希望的目标。
