Description We have demonstrated the location of a cyclic AMP independent serine/threonine protein kinase (ecto-CIK) on the outer surface of mature goat spermatozoa. We purified and characterized the major physiological protein substrate (MPS) of ecto-CIK. 32P-labeled membrane proteins phosphorylated by endogenous ecto-CIK of intact cauda-epididymal spermatozoa was solubilized with 1% Triton X-100 and then fractionated by following several chromatographic techniques like Sephacryl S-300 molecular sieve chromatography, DEAE–cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and chromatofocussing. The MPS of ecto-CIK has been purified to apparent homogeneity and it was found to be a monomeric protein of 100 kDa. Three isoforms of MPS have been found with pI of 6.37, 6.05, and 5.14 and all these isoforms served as the specific substrate of ecto-CIK. The ecto-kinase has nearly 30 times greater affinity forMPSas compared to casein the most potent exogenous protein substrate. Addition of MPS (pI 5.14) antibody caused head-to-head sperm agglutination. The Fv/Fab fragment of anti-MPS caused significant inhibition of sperm motility. The data show that MPS is an ecto-protein localized on the sperm head. MPS may thus play an important role for the regulation of sperm–egg interaction. J. Cell.
