Effect of rabbit spermatozoa on the incorporation of labeled precursors into endometrial macromolecules. 1980

J J Hicks, and M L Collado, and G Castro-Osuna

The presence of rabbit spermatozoa in the uterine horn of the doe over a 10-hr period induced an increase in the incorporation of leucine-14C and orotate-3H [from 230 +/- 50 to 520 +/- 32 and 146 +/- 41 to 432 +/- 40 (dpm 10(3) mg DNA; Mean +/- SEM)] into endometrial proteins and nucleic acids. The addition of actinomycin D or cyclohexamide significantly inhibited this process. The intraluminal administration of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) (control group) induced an increase two times greater than that produced by spermatozoa. The increase in the incorporation of radioactive precursors into endometrial macromolecules induced by the spermatozoa is independent of the uterine carbonic anhydrase activation produced by this cell.

D002256 Carbonic Anhydrases A family of zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They play an important role in the transport of CARBON DIOXIDE from the tissues to the LUNG. EC 4.2.1.1. Carbonate Dehydratase,Carbonic Anhydrase,Anhydrases, Carbonic,Dehydratase, Carbonate
D003513 Cycloheximide Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis. Actidione,Cicloheximide
D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

D003994 Bucladesine A cyclic nucleotide derivative that mimics the action of endogenous CYCLIC AMP and is capable of permeating the cell membrane. It has vasodilator properties and is used as a cardiac stimulant.
