Monoclonal antibodies against the protein complex that contains the flagellar movement-initiating phosphoprotein of Oncorhynchus keta. Research Abstract Details
We isolated and characterized several monoclonal antibodies against a protein complex containing the flagellar movement-initiating phosphoprotein (MIPP) that appears to play a crucial role in the initiation of flagellar movement in quiescent spermatozoa of Salmonid fish. The effects of the antibodies on the phosphorylation of MIPP, as well as on the initiation of movement, in model sperm cells were studied. Three monoclonal antibodies, namely, FMI7, FMI18, and FMI27, were found specifically to inhibit both the initiation of flagellar movement and the phosphorylation of MIPP. These antibodies did not recognize denatured MIPP; they only recognized the native antigen. FMI7 exclusively recognized the denatured form of a 38-kDa protein, which may possibly be a protein kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of MIPP. Immunofluorescence analysis in situ of model sperm cells with the antibodies showed that the antigen was localized predominantly in the basal structure of the spermatozoon. Thus, the results clearly demonstrate the involvement of MIPP in the initiation of flagellar movement and the control of flagellar motility.
