von Witzendorff D, Maass K, Pich A, Ebeling S, Kolle S, Kochel C, et al.
Carbohydr Res . 2009 Jun; 344(12):1541-9. PMID: 19524219
Oocyte maturation is a prerequisite for successful fertilization. Growing evidence suggests that not only the oocyte but also the surrounding zona pellucida has to undergo maturational changes. In the pig,...

Sahin E, Petrunkina A, Ekhlasi-Hundrieser M, Hettel C, Waberski D, Harrison R, et al.
Reprod Fertil Dev . 2009 Mar; 21(3):479-88. PMID: 19261225
The male reproductive tract of ungulates contains two protein families bearing tandemly arranged fibronectin II (Fn2) modules; one (small Fn2 proteins) bears two modules (e.g. BSP-A1/2), the other (long Fn2...

Sahin E, Petrunkina A, Waberski D, Harrison R, Topfer-Petersen E
Reprod Fertil Dev . 2009 Mar; 21(3):469-78. PMID: 19261224
Mature spermatozoa have a mechanism by which they can reduce cellular swelling caused by hypo-osmotic stress. The development of this ability during epididymal maturation in the bull was investigated. Caput...

Topfer-Petersen E, Ekhlasi-Hundrieser M, Tsolova M
Int J Dev Biol . 2008 Jul; 52(5-6):717-36. PMID: 18649284
By adopting internal fertilization, the meeting of both gametes--the sperm and the egg--and thus the highly coordinated sequence of interactions leading to fertilization, occur in the female reproductive tract. In...

Ardon F, Helms D, Sahin E, Bollwein H, Topfer-Petersen E, Waberski D
Reproduction . 2008 Mar; 135(4):461-70. PMID: 18367507
In the present study, the prevalence of chromatin instability in the fertilizing-competent sperm population in the porcine oviduct in vivo was examined through qualitative analysis of the chromatin structure status...

Ekhlasi-Hundrieser M, Calvete J, Von Rad B, Hettel C, Nimtz M, Topfer-Petersen E
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2008 Mar; 1784(5):856-62. PMID: 18359302
The mannose-binding capability of recombinant wild-type boar spermadhesin AQN-1 and of its site-directed mutants in the highly-conserved region around of the single glycosylation site (asparagine 50) of some spermadhesins, where...

Tannert A, Topfer-Petersen E, Herrmann A, Muller K, Muller P
Biochemistry . 2007 Sep; 46(41):11621-9. PMID: 17892307
The bovine seminal plasma protein PDC-109 exerts an essential influence on the sperm cell plasma membrane during capacitation. However, by any mechanism, it has to be ensured that this function...

Ekhlasi-Hundrieser M, Schafer B, Philipp U, Kuiper H, Leeb T, Mehta M, et al.
Gene . 2007 Feb; 392(1-2):253-65. PMID: 17307309
Fibronectin type II (Fn2) module-containing proteins in the male genital tract are characterized by different numbers of Fn2 modules. Predominantly two classes exist which are distinct by having either two...

Tannert A, Kurz A, Erlemann K, Muller K, Herrmann A, Schiller J, et al.
Eur Biophys J . 2006 Oct; 36(4-5):461-75. PMID: 17066268
The bovine seminal plasma protein PDC-109 modulates the maturation of bull sperm cells by removing lipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, from their cellular membrane. Here, we have characterized the process...

Piehler E, Petrunkina A, Ekhlasi-Hundrieser M, Topfer-Petersen E
Cytometry A . 2006 Sep; 69(10):1062-70. PMID: 16998870
Background: Spermatozoa acquire active fertilizing competence only after deposition in the female tract and subsequent capacitation. Recent studies on the cellular location of major sperm phosphoproteins suggest that capacitation is...
