The storage of frozen semen for artificial insemination is usually performed in the presence of egg yolk or skimmed milk as protective agents. In goats, the use of skimmed milk extenders requires, however, that most of the seminal plasma is removed before dilution of spermatozoa because it is deleterious for their survival. It has been previously demonstrated that a lipase (BUSgp60) secreted by the accessory bulbourethral gland was responsible for the cellular death of goat spermatozoa, through the lipolysis of residual milk lipids and the release of toxic free fatty acids. This lipase was purified from the whole seminal plasma of goat and was found to display both lipase and phospholipase A activities, this latter activity representing the main phospholipase activity detected in goat seminal plasma. Based on its N-terminal amino acid sequence, identical to that of BUSgP60 purified from bulbourethral gland secretion, and the design of degenerated oligonucleotides, the lipase was cloned from total mRNA isolated from bulbourethral gland. DNA sequencing confirmed it was the goat pancreatic-lipase-related protein 2 (GoPLRP2). The physiological role of GoPLRP2 is still unknown but this enzyme might be associated with the reproductive activity of goats. A significant increase in lipase secretion was observed every year in August and the level of lipase activity in the semen remained high till December, i.e., during the breeding season. A parallel increase in the plasmatic levels of testosterone suggested that GoPLRP2 expression might be regulated by sexual hormones. The lipase activity level measured in goat seminal plasma, which could reach 1000 U/ml during the breeding season, was one of the highest lipase activity measured in natural sources, including gastric and pancreatic juices.

D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
