Of four glycoproteins isolated from guinea pig testes, two were aspermatogenic (types I and IV) and two (types II and III) were inactive. The glycoproteins were rich in carbohydrate, varying from 41.5% to 49.5% carbohydrate by weight. Each glycoprotein had a unique amino acid composition, but in

The AP1 protein, a unique aspermatogenic protein localized in the sperm acrosome, exists as a single polypeptide chain of 136 amino acids, as shown by a single band on gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate and the recovery of the expected 21 to 22 tryptic peptides on peptide mapping. The AP1

The mumps virus (MuV) fusion protein (F) plays a crucial role for the entry process and spread of infection by mediating fusion between viral and cellular membranes as well as between infected and neighboring cells, respectively. The fusogenicity of MuV differs depending on the strains and might
