Microtubule and centrosome distribution during sheep fertilization.

Abstract:

:The distribution of microtubules and centrosomes was studied during sheep fertilization by electron and immunofluorescence microscopy. Tubulin and centrosomal material was identified with monoclonal anti-alpha-tubulin and MPM-2 antibodies, respectively. In ovulated eggs, microtubules were exclusively found in the meiotic spindle and centrosomal material at each of its poles. At fertilization, sperm centrosomes were incorporated into the egg and organized the sperm astral microtubules. During pronuclear development and migration, the sperm aster increased in size; microtubules of the sperm aster extended from the male pronucleus to the egg center and towards the female pronucleus. The position of the sperm aster during pronuclear migration suggests that it plays a role in this process. When the pronuclei were in apposition in the egg center, a dense array of microtubules and the centrosomal material were present between the two pronuclei. The proximal centriole of the sperm was identified by electron microscopy, between the apposed pronuclei. The centrosomal material extending around the centriole and the sperm neck and proximal mid-piece, apparently contained several foci from which microtubules radiated. These data suggest that in sheep unlike in mice, centrosomal material originating from the sperm is involved in the fertilization events.
