Zinc-binding proteins from seminal plasma (ZnBPs) originate in the secretions of different accessory sex glands and are implicated in key events associated with sperm-egg fertilization processes. This study describes the isolation and characterization of the ZnBPs of canine seminal plasma. Ejaculates were collected from three crossbred dogs for a 2-week period. The ZnBPs as well as non zinc-binding proteins (nZnBPs) were isolated by zinc-dependent affinity chromatography. The isolated fractions were subjected to native gel electrophoresis (one-dimensional polyacryamide gel electrophoresis, PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), using denaturing and reducing conditions. Zinc-elution profile using affinity chromatography displayed two protein fractions represented by the nZnBPs and ZnBPs, respectively. Using native gel electrophoresis, it was found that both the nZnBPs and ZnBPs occurred in their native state as aggregates, ranging from 140 to 669 kDa. The nZnBPs were disaggregated into 8 protein bands, with molecular weights ranging from 10.7 to 79.7 kDa, following SDS-PAGE analysis. By contrast, SDS-PAGE analysis of the ZnBPs revealed 13 protein bands, with molecular weights ranging from 11.6 to 152.3 kDa. Densitometric analysis showed that 46-48% of nZnBPs could be accounted by protein fractions with molecular weights of 10.7 and 14.2 kDa. Also, 2 protein fractions with molecular weights of 11.6 and 14.3 kDa, were predominant in ZnBPs, accounting for approximately 28-30% of the total proteins. These results demonstrate the zinc-binding capacity of proteins secreted by the canine prostate. The findings of this study indicate that ZnBPs of canine seminal plasma comprise several protein fractions, which might be implicated in the reproductive processes in the dog.

Zinc-binding proteins (ZnBPs) isolated from boar seminal plasma exert multiple effects on boar spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to determine whether the isolated zinc-binding proteins were capable of binding additional ligands. The affinity chromatography method was used for the first time to demonstrate that boar ZnBPs show affinity for both heparin (hep) and phosphorylcholine (pch). ZnBPs+hep accounted for approximately 20%, and ZnBPs+pch – for approximately 45% of total ZnBPs. Predominant polypeptides with molecular mass form 6.5 to 14 kDa were observed in both groups (ZnBPs+hep, ZnBPs+pch). The analyzed peptides’ low molecular mass and their ability to bind zinc ions as well as heparin and phosphorylcholine suggest that they belong to the family of multifunctional boar spermadhesins which perform their functions in the fertilization process by binding more than one ligand. The results indicate that the ZnBPs of boar seminal plasma may be involved in the processes associated with oocyte fertilization not only by zinc ions binding but also through heparin and phosphorylcholine.

 In this study immunoelectrophoretic and double immunodiffusion analyses were used to investigate the antigenic character of zinc-binding proteins (ZnBPs), whereas the indirect immunofluorescence technique was used to identify their origin in boar reproductive tract. The mmunoelectrophoretic analysis of ZnBPs of the seminal plasma resulted in the appearance of three antigenic protein complexes, while specific immunoreactivity patterns of the anti-ZnBP serum were detected by double immunodiffusion analysis. Indirect immunofluorescence technique confirmed that ZnBPs were secreted by different reproductive tract tissues, suggesting their contributions to the seminal plasma.
