| Research Abstract |
Tyrosine (Tyr) sulfation is a common posttranslational modification of secreted proteins or membrane-bound proteins that is implicated in numerous physiological and pathological processes. Interestingly, the Tpst2mutant shows severe hypothyroidism and male infertility due to the abnormality of sperm transport and capacitation and /or fertilization. These results suggest that the unknown testis specific protein(s) are preferentially sulfated by TPST2. In this study, I tried to identify Tyr-sulfated-protein(s) essential for sperm-egg adhesion.
