General description
Izumo sperm-egg fusion protein 1 (UniProt: Q9D9J7; also known as Oocyte binding/fusion factor, OBF, Sperm-specific protein izumo) is encoded by the Izumo1 gene (Gene ID: 73456) in murine species. OBF is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is detected on sperm surface after the acrosome reaction. It is an essential sperm cell-surface protein required for fertilization by acting as a ligand for IZUMO1R/JUNO receptor on egg. It can be present as a monomer, homodimer, or homooligomer. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-21), which is cleaved off in the mature form, which has an extracellular domain (aa 22-319), a short transmembrane domain (aa 320-340), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 341-397). The extracellular domain assumes a distinct boomerang shape when not bound to IZUMO1R/JUNO. Its interaction with IZUMO1R/JUNO triggers a conformation change, so that the IZUMO1 extracellular domain assumes an upright conformation. A region comprising of 13 amino acids (148-160) is important for its interaction with IZUMO1R. Mab120 is a fusion-inhibiting antibody that inhibits fertilization. It binds to a region designated as putative functional fragment (aa 5-113). (Ref.: Inoue, N et al. (2013). Development. 140(15); 3221-3229).
Specificity
Clone Mab120 is a rat monoclonal antibody that detects Izumo sperm-egg fusion protein 1 (IZUMO1) in murine species. It targets an epitope with in the N-terminal putative functional fragment.
Immunogen

The fusion of mammalian gametes requires the interaction between IZUMO1 on the sperm and JUNO on the oocyte. We have recently shown that ectopic expression of mouse IZUMO1 induces cell-cell fusion and that sperm can fuse to fibroblasts expressing JUNO.

Mammalian sperm-egg adhesion depends on the trans-interaction between the sperm-specific type I glycoprotein IZUMO1 and its oocyte-specific GPI-anchored receptor JUNO. However, the mechanisms and proteins (fusogens) that mediate the following step of gamete fusion remain unknown. Using live imaging and
